Thanks to ChrisGBK for the map file structure in http://devs.soldat.pl/Map . Feel free to do whatever you want with it.

Also, these files were compiled using mingw32 (from dev-cpp) under windows98se. The compiler params should include '-lglut32 -lglu32 -lopengl32 -lgdi32' if you want to build everything properly.

So i took mar77a's code and continued the OpenGL implementation. It renders quiete well the maps, but still have some details to fix. It makes use of FreeImage library to load the image files (textures and sceneries).

So here this is what's done so far:
mapc.h - I think i modified a couple of things there.
test.cpp - Here all the OpenGL implementation.

Screeshots:

This is one thing that I don't know how to fix yet (the scenery border)


To show off the good looking :p



If anyone knows about OpenGL and knows how to get rid of those borders, any help would be appreciated.

Well, I'm glad to see the psuedo-C structures I wrote for Hex Workshop are being found useful finally, which is the whole reason I put them on the wiki in the first place.

Wish I could help with the OpenGL stuff a bit, but it's particularily frustrating that you can't get the official up to date OpenGL Reference Manual or Porgramming Guide(Blue book and Red book respectively) without paying for it. Sure, you can find tutorials all over, and they do have old versions online, but you can't find an up to date definitive source for everything. One of a few things I like about Microsoft and DirectX, all the information is freely available and searchable, complete with many tutorials.

I had attempted to try making a Kylix version of a map editor at one point in time, and the biggest issue I had was finding information on how to actually do something (since under Kylix, you don't have all the nice wrappers people have written around OpenGL). That, and the poor support for OpenGL under Kylix in the first place.

That Calypso map looks just beautiful.

Oh man thats nice. tough i cant work with c++. it would be nice if you could create the same for LUA. then i would create more software like crazy.

With a few tweaks I was able to compile/run PerroAZUL's code on my Eee under xUbuntu. Apparently g++ didn't recognize most of the numeric typedefs, so I changed those (_int16 -> short, _int32 -> long, _int64 -> long long.) Also the slashes were all backward (including the #includes.) Tell me if there's a better way of fixing this. I just did what I needed to for everything to work.

This is what I used to compile
g++ main.cpp -lglut -lGLU -lGL -lfreeimage

PerroAZUL, I compared the same maps on XP and Ubuntu. Under Ubuntu they don't appear. Maybe this is a bug in the FreeImage library?

I don't think it's a bug in FreeImage because I found this problem in many forums discussing about OpenGL. Maybe it has something to do with the OpenGL version. Did you use the same in both systems?

Slightly off-toopic... don't forward-slashes work in MS IDEs for include paths?  This way you're writing more portable code right off the bat...

Things not appearing/rendering properly is usually a result of making assumptions of what the hardware is capable of. ie: older hardware can't handle non-square non-power-of-2 textures (anything that's not ... 32x32, 64x64, 128x128 ...) and attempting to use it will at best cause a well written driver to fallback to software workaround, a somewhat OK driver to render incorrectly (see: SIS chipset rendering soldat's graphics partially; the driver finds the smallest power of 2 of the width or height, whichever is SMALLEST, causing the allocated texture to be smaller and cut off partially), or just not work altogether, probably returning on error on some of the rendering calls. Worst case is it crashes.

OK. I made a few more changes. Namely switching from glut to SDL and adding cross-platform compatibility. Glut just doesn't have the functionality we'd need to do anything useful with this app. Using SDL I was able to add mouse dragging and scrolling.

mapc.cpp - Main file
mapc.h - Header

Here's the list of parameters I used to compile it using dev-cpp under Windows (Project -> Project Options -> Parameters)
-lmingw32
-lSDLmain
-mwindows
-lSDL
-lglu32
-lopengl32
-lwinmm
-lgdi32
-lfreeimage

And using g++ under linux:
g++ main.cpp -lSDLmain -lSDL -lGLU -lGL -lfreeimage

Under Ubuntu you need all the development files for SDL and OpenGL.

Edit: I discovered the lines were caused by the textures bleeding onto the other side, like they are wrapping despite GL_CLAMP being set. Scenery that is transparent along the opposite border doesn't have this issue.

Edit: I discovered the lines were caused by the textures bleeding onto the other side, like they are wrapping despite GL_CLAMP being set. Scenery that is transparent along the opposite border doesn't have this issue.

That's somewhat strange; GL_CLAMP is supposed to have this behaviour:

Source Texture:


GL_CLAMP; rendered on a large surface(larger than the texture in question):



Note the smearing of the upper row of pixels and the right row of pixels.

Maybe it's an unintended side-effect of using 3D texture coordinates (glTexCoord3f) instead of 2D texture coordinates(glTexCoord2f) while in 2D texturing mode?  I'm a bit rusty with how this is handled in OpenGL.

Why not do all drawing in strictly 2D? I can't see a use for using 3D coordinates for a 2D application, esp. as Soldat itself doesn't use the values. (Coordinates in OpenGL are always 4D, with X, Y, Z and W components, using the 2D functions simply supplies default values of 0.0 and 1.0 for Z and W respectively, and makes for neater code)

Any reason not to do the drawing as follows?

Code: [Select]
glBegin(GL_QUADS);

I'm going to have to get a working install of Ubuntu up and running and get the compiler all setup one of these days.

The "line problem" is probably due to interpolation not being handled correctly by the driver. I've seen this problem before, even with GL_CLAMP set, when interpolating texture coordinates (i.e. using GL_LINEAR instead of GL_NEAREST) it'll wrap the coordinates around. Do you have up-to-date drivers?

hey fellas, I've been away for quite a while but I'm back for now.
I've been reading these forums and this topic seems real interesting.

Soo I tried compiling Mar77a code edits by Elephant Hunter under Ubuntu and got it working somewhat. (I think it's a worse or same result as Elephant Hunter)
Cause Im not up with C++, I'm stumped

Added screenshot of test, 1 with no sceneries or texture (it renders well) the other with both enabled (and the level is messed up..)

Perro could you tell me what version OpenGL and Freeimage you running?

And  could someone tell me how I could edit the map renderer so the image size is not static and is about 20 pixels out from the furthest polygon on each side?

Thanks alot :)
