glutGameModeString
glutGameModeGet
glutEnterGameMode
glutIgnoreKeyRepeat

and.. glutLeaveGameMode

Shouldn't we import the latest glut instead ?

[michaelvoliveira]

Hi all!

I don't know if importing the latest glut will resolve... but: glutSetKeyRepeat, glutGameModeString, glutGameModeGet, glutEnterGameMode, glutIgnoreKeyRepeat, are already declared in our /haiku/headers/os/opengl/GL/GLUT.h header

And all these 5 functions are commented out in our /haiku/src/libs/mesa/glut/glut_ext.c source file

I'm uploading og_gamemode.c and og_misc.c from OpenGLUT project. But any of 5 functions there is useless for Haiku because it's X11 dependent.

If any of you could implement it, I'll be glad.. and at least 15 more apps could run on Haiku with it (BillardGL comes in my mind) and could solve (I hope so) a SDL bug in Haiku (because in BeOS all works fine)

Thank you for all your efforts

As BeOS GLUT didn't implement either these functions, if it work under BeOS it's not due to GLUT but, more probably, to BeOS's SDL not relying on these functions existences.

Implmented glutSetKetRepeat() and glutIgnoreKeyRepeat() in hrev37743

[phoudoin]

I may port/implement the game mode 4 missing calls soon, BTW. Do you have for me any small sample code/game using GLUT Game Mode I could use as a testbed ?

[michaelvoliveira]

Of course phoudoin

BilliardGL (direct link) ​http://sourceforge.net/projects/billardgl/files/billardgl/BillardGL%201.75/BillardGL-1.75.tar.gz/download

It's 750kb, so I can't attach here..

Please delete X libs linking at makefile and type make

[michaelvoliveira]

One more:

glutForceJoystickFunc

and so we have inimplemented

glutForceJoystickFunc glutEnterGameMode glutLeaveGameMode glutGameModeString glutGameModeGet

[phoudoin]

An experimental Game Mode support is implemented in hrev37878. Not ready for primetime yet, as working on this show how GLUT and even our Mesa Software Renderer are not rock solid.

[phoudoin]

BillardGL -hp (1024x768:32) works. The default 800x600:16 doesn't, but I'll bet it's more related to our direct mode renderer than anything else...

[michaelvoliveira]

I'll test with our softpipe.. tomorrow I'll post the results

[michaelvoliveira]

I'm back! After a stress testing, here is the results:

BillardGL not work for me... maybe can be my unsupported radeonhd, because I can see 1024x768:32@85hertz.. and I can't set it down in Vesa mode, maybe with my onboard gforce..

Well, don't matter, because the new GLUT functions works well. The proof is that GL-117 game was ported (see in Haikuware :) FooBillard too. And many others will come after!

For now, this ticket could be closed and set as fixed. Thank you!

one more thing and a bit offtopic: Will be possible create something like glXGetProcAddressARB() or wglGetProcAddress() in Haiku? I know that we have glutGetProcAddress, but is only difference seems that we use 'const char*' instead 'const GLubyte*' from the others.. I know that ask so much, but is the really function that matters in GLX...

BTW, our softpipe implementation not work anymore, and the gallium branch needs a update before test the render again

[michaelvoliveira]

Thank you for the hrev38578 and hrev38579! Now the app builds and runs!

The only thing that don't work is the rendering resolution

nor BillardGL nor VegaStrike starts here

even passing -hp 800x600:16 or -hp 1024x768:32 seems that renderer switch to the hightest mode supported by vesa (using an unsupported radeonhd)

I'll try with the onboard geforce..

Please close this ticket!
