Frame rate issues from drawing quads
|
Hi,
I've been working on a game for about a year now using a 2d opengl game engine that I wrote. I noticed recently that my game seems to lose frames badly on older computers and ones with crappy graphics cards. Since it's just a 2... |

OpenGL Texture Color Key
|
I'm in the process of making a 2D game engine in openGL and I ran into a little snag. I can't seem to figure out how to pick a color key so a color in the loaded texture will be completely transparent. I have already tried a number of things and I ca... |

Texture Loading Problem
|
Is there anyway to set a texture's dimensions so they do not scale to a power of 2? Right now I am using the D3DX_DEFAULT_NONPOW2 flag to do this when creating the texture but apparently this does not work with all cards. It is making the textures al... |

How do we submit our games? Are we just going to have to find a way to host them ourselves? |

DirectX Looking For Wrong .dll file
|
When I try to run a compiled direct x app, it says that D3DX9.dll was not found. That file does not come with the redistributable package, the dll is in the form of D3DX9_xx.dll. When I change the D3DX9_xx.dll file names to just D3DX9.dll, it runs fi... |

Frame rate issues from drawing quads
|
I think my best option would be to give the user the ability to disable some of the backgrounds. I still want to try to find a way to get it working on older computers with integrated cards. The computer I have been testing it on has an int... |

Frame rate issues from drawing quads
|
That makes sense, I think I understand how it works a lot better now. As you can probably tell, I don't really know as much as I should about what goes on in the hardware. In my game there are 3 backgrounds (800x600) in the window at once,... |

Frame rate issues from drawing quads

Yeah I read the replies maybe I'm not getting it.
Ok, on a particular older computer I have, I can run games that I have previously made. One uses directX and one uses SDL. Those games seem to run fine with no frame loss which are wr... |

Frame rate issues from drawing quads
|
I'm not actually going to be doing the 200 quads on top of eachother type thing in the game, I was just doing that to test fps rates of a large amount of quads being drawn to the screen at once. I wasn't sure if I was doing something wrong... |

Frame rate issues from drawing quads

Thanks for the reply, Erik.
In the game, there would not be a situation like that, and I get a framerate of around 160 fps on the same computer I did the above tests on in the game. That is completely fine, but I want my game to be able... |

OpenGL Texture Color Key
|
I figured it out. In case anybody is wondering, here is how I did it:
surf = IMG_Load(filename);
SDL_Color color;
for (int y = 0; y < surf->h; y++)
{
for (int x = 0; x < surf->w; x++)
{
unsigned int pi... |

OpenGL Texture Color Key

That's what I was thinking, but I can't figure out how to change the alpha value for a specific pixel in the surface. |

OpenGL Texture Color Key
|
Ok well since OpenGL doesn't support color keying would there be any way to convert the specific pixels in the image to the alpha channel using SDL before loading it as an OpenGL texture? |

OpenGL Texture Color Key

Yeah I got that you need to enable blending and use glBlendFunc() but I'm not sure how to set it up so it chooses just the one color to be blended. |
