DBCC commands!?!? I'm so pissed at the lack of tutorials on how to run these. Does anyone know how to run one? I've tried it in sql statements and procedures but they can't find that command. All I want to do is unload my custom dll that has my function i...

Amazing game co. HR Someone posted about this game (firefall) a week ago and I checked out the companies website which had a very interesting video. Believe me, its interesting and worth the watch. And also amazing. LINK

Array vs Vector Discussion :) I saw someones code at work and wondered why they were using a vector instead of an array since we knew the size, so I almost asked the question on here about speed of access but I pretty much knew the answer anyway. So this is not a question...

Webpage fun Go to any webpage, once its loaded, copy paste this into the title and hit enter. You just blast webpages away with a spaceship. arrow keys and space for input. I destroyed the gamedev forum. javascript:var s = document.createElement(...

Static member variables of class type For static member variables, where are they constructed, compile time or run time? For instance below, is 54 initialized at compile time or is it executed in code somewhere (and where would that be executed if so). When I have a member variable of...

GLES and glOrthof So I've been working with android for about a week and discovered the PC emulator works, but the phones dont. After reading up on the solution it seemed some other people had this problem and there is no real solution. Has anyone ever had pro...

GLES Android, target poly's etc Anyone know a good review on some specs? I read a bit about an application getting 16MB of space, I'm not sure though how much gfx memory there is, or what a decent polycount is for a frame. Does 100 verts per frame seem too high?

Anyone read the 4.0 specs? I was looking at new graphics cards and if I got one that is GL 4.0, it seems a lot of things would not work. I knew things like glBegin/glEnd are supposed to be ripped out (which I feel is stupid for keeping simplicity and drawing simple thing...

Learning OpenGL graphics havent changed a whole lot since 2.0 features. You will be able to run a lot of stuff for a while before you need more stuff to learn.

AntiAlising & Anisotropic You must also have glTexParameter using mipmaps(LINEAR_MIP_MAP_LINEAR or other) or it wont work.

FBI Celebrates That It Prevented FBI's Own Bomb Plot To those saying the FBI is just making these plots to produce fear and boogeymen: The FBI created a 'boogey' plot. Will someone come across a ridiculous amount of high-grade explosives, probably not. What the FBI did NOT create, is a psycho killer...

FBI Celebrates That It Prevented FBI's Own Bomb Plot Well basically someone is saying "Man I wish I had a bomb and could kill a ton of people." The FBI simply exposed that that's all. There are plenty of people that would do it if they could. Just because these people are morons and can't do it for the...

VBO Questions Graphics memory is not that important. Textures nowadays take up so little space if you use compression. Even without compression, you should be just fine if your getting started.

packing rgba into a 32bit integer Thats a good idea, never thought of a union that way. To the OP, your += should be |=.

My program is killing my whole computer Sounds like a bad driver. I've never cleaned up my textures or framebuffers by explicitly deleting them when my application closes (so I assume this is taken care of when the application closes). I might have had the problem a long time ago but I don...

Getting maximum zoom distance I was going to say this before because your doing this problem wrong. You need a standardized frame so that your level sizes aren't in pixels but in a universal coordinate system. I'm assuming your using glOrtho(0,width, 0 height)? I mean you can...

DevIL issues glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D); glTexCoord2f(); Your missing a couple things. OpenGL does not magically know how you want the image to show up, you have to give each vertex a texture coordinate so that it knows what part of the image to use for that...
