Here are the errors

Fixed it,

Code:

     Vector3(float vx,float vy,float vz):x(vx),y(vy),z(vz) {}

two more errors

Are we missing a math file? or is something just not declaring correctly?

Included math.h, got rid of the sqrt problem, but Length is still unidentified, moving on...

Ahhh, length, not Length...

teehee, lots of lil screwups here and there, i feel almighty debugging bubba's code

Bugs are now right here --->

Code:

struct Vertex3D
{
  Vector3 Model;
  Vector3 World;
  Vector3 View;
  Vector3 Pos;
  DWORD Diffuse;
  DWORD Specular;
  float tu,tv;

  Vertex3D(void):Model(Vector3(0.0f,0.0f,0.0f)),
                           World(Vector3(0.0f,0.0f,0.0f)),
                           View(Vector3(0.0f,0.0f,0.0f)),
                           Pos(Vector3(0.0f,0.0f,0.0f)),
                           Diffuse(0),
                           Specular(0),
                           tu(0.0f),
                           tv(0.0f)  {}

  Vertex3D(Vector3 _pos,DWORD _diffuse=0,DWORD Specular=0,
                  float _tu=0.0f,float tv=0.0f):Pos(_pos),
                  Diffuse (_diffuse),Specular(_specular),tu(_tu),
                  tv(_tv) {}
};

Workin on it...

It runs now, got rid of all those underscores,, and fixed specular to Specular....

Go me, i probably broke it though, bubba, thoughts?

All I need now is more information on how to use it in opengl...

lol, ur not the opengl guy so you can't give me a 100% answer, or is this more of a straight up C++ issue? i think it may be.... Seeing as how your vertex3d classes n stuff don't use OGL it just uses c++...

can you give me a more detailed function call? etc? etc? words on how to actually make use of that class... Thanks bubba

I tried putting this in my main cpp file

Code:

	VertexBuffer<Vertex3D> MyVertexBuffer;

I get these errors...

Lesseeee.....

Fixed, from this

Code:

template <class T> class VertexBuffer
{
  T *m_pVertexData;
  DWORD m_dwNumVertices;
  DWORD m_dwStride;
  
  public:
     VertexBuffer(void):m_pVertexData(null),m_dwNumVertices(0),m_dwStride(0) {}

     bool Create(DWORD _numverts,DWORD _stride);
     T *Lock(void) {return m_pVertexData;}
};

To this

Code:

template <class T> class VertexBuffer
{
  T *m_pVertexData;
  DWORD m_dwNumVertices;
  DWORD m_dwStride;
  
  public:
     VertexBuffer(void):m_pVertexData(0),m_dwNumVertices(0),m_dwStride(0) {}

     bool Create(DWORD _numverts,DWORD _stride);
     T *Lock(void) {return m_pVertexData;}
};

So I am able to create my own vertex buffer, now what can I do with it? examples pleeease!!

yeah they don't work on the schools video cards, thus why im going to try to use this software version

I put this line in to try to make use of my code and draw something, I know im missing the index buffer, dunno how to do that....

Code:

bool Draw(VertexBuffer *pVB,IndexBuffer *pIB=NULL,BYTE PrimitiveType=3DPRIMS_POINT);

And obviously im going to get this error...

Missing index buffer thingy, thats all i need now i think.....
How do I do this index buffer thing, i know you gave me the theory behind it, but i'm talking code wise :d

So... you know exactly what pixels you need to change? If so, then change to a 2D ortho perspective with Width and Height the same as the window and draw a single poly untextured 20x20.

If you want a way to optimize the change from 2D and 3D I can help on that.

Are they all the same size? You could use a DisplayList to create one, and then just repeat it. That should be fast enough.

Code:

unsigned int ID;  //this is a unique ID for the list, like a texture ID
ID = glGenLists(1);
glNewList(ID, GL_COMPILE);
   glBegin(GL_QUADS);
   //Draw your model here
   glEnd();
glEndList();

//------------------------------------------------

//Anywhere you want to draw the above object, just type

glCallList(ID);

A display list creates a cache of any commands you insert inside of this list so the can be executed quickly. Vertex arrays are on par with Display Lists as far as speed goes, vertex arrays allow you to alter the data during the program, you have to delete the display list and remake it to alter the data there. The tradeoff for this reduced flexability is that display lists are very simple.
