Hi,

glext.h is file which allows to access higher OpenGL via extension mechanism.
You first have to check if feature is supported, obtain its handle and call it using prototype.
I am not sure if it is possible in thinBASIC now, but I think it should not be hard to add.

It is done this way, becase it is only case where you can avoid "Missing export..." in case function is not found.

glext.h can be obained on card manufacturers websites ( customized for your card ) or more general on OpenGL web - here.

Bye,
Petr

Thanks Petr, will try to sort it out later today. Need to sleep. Stayed up all night making a map for il2 1946, went to save got a waypoint error and couldn't find which unit it was after an hour of searching the map, it was covered with all sorts of stuff I put... it was hopeless so lost all that work.

Oh well, will save in increments tomorrow, learned my lesson the hard way again.

I'm sorry to hear that.

My brother yesterday had similar accident - he is doing translation of Morrowind: Bloodmoon game to Czech and after installing network card Windows crashed in such a dirty way that format and reinstall was only solution.

Bye,
Petr

Your Brother's Crash is a lot worse than what happened to me, sorry it happened to him like that, but now I realize I got off lightly. After sleep I am ready to work on the map again
