VBO Problems

Hello from germany

I have stored some objects as VBOs an everything works fine.
If i draw an additional text - created with wglUseOutlineFonts and stored as display lists
the VBO color - which is not transparent alpah=255 becomes transparent and the
normals look scrambled??
Hoe is it possible to modify the content of a VBO without accessing its memory??

kind regards
Peter

Code please.

Hello

any combination of VBOs with any color combinations etc. works fine.
As soon as I display text the VBO colors are transparent.

extern void Str_3D( Vertex_Struct* pos, char *str, int32_t fnt_ind, RGBA_Struct* col, BOOL cen_flag )
{
float lg = 0;
uint32_t c1;

if ( str == NULL ) return;

glPushMatrix();
if( cen_flag )
{
for( c1 = 0; c1 < strlen( str ); c1++ ) lg +=__gmf[ fnt_ind ][ str[ c1 ] ].gmfCellIncX;
glTranslatef( -lg / 2.0f + pos->x, pos->y - 0.35f, pos->z + 0.005f );
}
else
{
glTranslatef( pos->x, pos->y - 0.35f, pos->z + 0.005f );
}

glPushAttrib( GL_LIST_BIT );
glColor4ubv( &col->red );
glListBase( __f_base[ fnt_ind ] );
glCallLists( strlen( str ), GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, str );
glPopAttrib();
glPopMatrix();
}


static void Draw_GL_Scene( void )
{
int32_t c1;
int32_t c2;
VBO_Data_Struct* vbd;

glPushMatrix();
glClear( GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT );

glRotatef( _c_ang, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0 );
glCallList( _ax_3d );

Str_3D( &vx_0, "CE_WIN", 0, &_col[ 1 ], TRUE );
Draw_VBO( _vbo[ 0 ] );
Draw_VBO( _vbo[ 1 ] );

glPopMatrix();

glFlush();

_c_ang += 0.03f;


}

kind regards

Ah display lists, aren't they just fun?

Have you tried

Code :

---

glPushAttrib(GL_ALL_ATTRIB_BITS);

---

instead of

Code :

---

glPushAttrib(GL_LIST_BIT);

---

? If this changes everything back to normal, you can assume it's stuff in the WGL generated DLs that messes up your state.

What state is set for the list called with

Code :

---

glCallList( _ax_3d );

---

?

EDIT: Please format you post to use '['code']' ... '['/code']' tags. It's hard enough to read as it is.

Hi thanks for your reply

if I change to GL_ALL_ATTRIB_BITS the text does not display any more
I have taken out glCallList( _ax_3D )

the first frame is rendered correct - the second is bad

I've just seen you are from germany - me too -> so we can go on german???

Is there any possibility to place the chars in VBOs - I need to rotate scale.. them

Nope, the language is this forum is English. Period.

Can you revert the attrib push and post screen shots of correct vs. incorrect? I fail to see what's going wrong with your colors at the moment.

Thank god this is not a japanese forum

Assume a solid cube color = 255, 255, 255, 255 -> white no transparency,
in the center of the cube is my text.
The first frame shows only the cube -> correct
the second frame shows the cube transparent with the text visible at its center

When I change to GL_ALL_ATTRIB_BITS there is no text anywhere.

Stop being racist. ;)

I just read the MSDN docs about wglUseFontOutline and before coming to a conclusion I'd like to know, do you mean invisible when saying transparent?

Hi

no the cube is visible - but as its color is like 255, 255, 255, 128 -> with a scaled alpha value

_col is defined how?
