Can you try my new engine?

[MarcoAltomonte]

Hi everybody!
I'm developing a little 3d engine in OpenGl. I'd like you to try it (a few minutes!) and send me some feedback.
My e-mail is MarcoAltomonte@hotmail.it

Download page: http://www.webalice.it/altomonte (3 MB)

These are some functionality:
Portals (Automatic sector generaion from human-placed portals)
Per pixel lighting (GLSL + Blinn + Ambient)
ShadowVolumes (2 sided)
Skeletal Animation (SSE)
Static Lights optimizations (Smallest set of lighted surfaces, optimized zfail shadows)

I think a 3d card with GLSL will be cabable to running the engine.
The map I included in this first realease is very simple (I'm not a very good level-designer!), but
I tried the Engine on VERY large sectorialised maps and framerate is ok.
If you are interested in helping me on map creation (I use GtkRadiant), send me an e-mail!
Thanks to all! Bye!

When I run Engine.exe it exits immediately without any error and Log.txt is empty.
My card is ATI Radeon 9600 Pro.

Cheers!

If you want to support a wider range of hardware, you could do something like this:

#ifdef GL_ATI_separate_stencil
  if (GLEW_ATI_separate_stencil)
  {
    //Setup stencil and render
  }
  else
#endif
 
#ifdef GL_EXT_stencil_two_side
  if (GLEW_EXT_stencil_two_side)
  {
    //Setup stencil and render
  }
  else
#endif
  {
    //Fallback to render if no two sided HW.
    //Render regularly with two passes.
  }
#endif

I upload a new version with normal shadow volume render. Thanks for the Ati renderpath, i will try it later!

That's a compile time check - you should use a runtime check.

Ups. did not really think there
When you distribute only the exe file, it would be better to do a runtime check like Knackered suggest. Sorry
