Compiling Glquake on windows7

[leileilol]

Is it the old 'bragabouthowhardcoreourcardisbyspammingthestringsfullofsupportedglextensions' bug?

[Charlieguitar]

yep that one doesnt work either.

MSVC points to this line in dbghook.c ??

_debugger_hook_dummy = 0;

Not sure whats going on as thats obviously not part of the engine.

chugging in with some extra info

if using msvc 8 on windows 7 you might get errors while linking

took me a bit of digging to find out you need this -> Microsoft Windows SDK v7.0

when installed you need to register this sdk with msvc theres a shortcut for this function in the shortcut folder.

aye for some reason the old manifest tool with windows sdk 6 and 6.1
crashes the linker on win7 exact same error i was getting sdk 7.0 fixes it mostly allthough i had a few occasions where it still does it but far less frequent (seems to be permission related).

atleast there next version will have side by side configuration removed and about time that function alone has caused me more headaches than anything

might be the ol ztrick hack some newer cards REALLY dont like this one.

[code
void R_Clear (void)
{
if (r_mirroralpha->value != 1.0)
{
if (gl_clear->value)
glClear (GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
else
glClear (GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
gldepthmin = 0;
gldepthmax = 0.5;
glDepthFunc (GL_LEQUAL);
}
else if (gl_ztrick->value) // ztrick hack
{
static int trickframe;

if (gl_clear->value)
glClear (GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);

trickframe++;
if (trickframe & 1)
{
gldepthmin = 0;
gldepthmax = 0.49999;
glDepthFunc (GL_LEQUAL);
}
else
{
gldepthmin = 1;
gldepthmax = 0.5;
glDepthFunc (GL_GEQUAL);
}
}
else
{
if (gl_clear->value)
glClear (GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
else
glClear (GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
gldepthmin = 0;
gldepthmax = 1;
glDepthFunc (GL_LEQUAL);
}

glDepthRange (gldepthmin, gldepthmax);
}
[/code]

try setting gl_ztrick to 0 in game and reload the lvl if this fixes it remove this part

[code
else if (gl_ztrick->value) // ztrick hack
{
static int trickframe;

if (gl_clear->value)
glClear (GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);

trickframe++;
if (trickframe & 1)
{
gldepthmin = 0;
gldepthmax = 0.49999;
glDepthFunc (GL_LEQUAL);
}
else
{
gldepthmin = 1;
gldepthmax = 0.5;
glDepthFunc (GL_GEQUAL);
}
}
