Ok, I tried that. No difference.

I'll give it a shot. But shouldn't apt have done that automatically when I removed and reinstalled it?

I did try that, but ended up with an empty log file.

I resized my windows partition (Non-Destructively!!! Yay!) and made a new ext4 partition (is there a reason I shouldn't use ext4? My old system...

Yes that's true. That's pretty much what I was trying to say. If it doesn't work its most likely because you need admin privileges.

I have seen it not work on some machines. In high school i tried it on the school PCs and it wouldn't work (I messed with my friends in that class all the time). So if OminiX can't get that to work...

in the terminal:
"sudo dhclient" will DHCP for you.
"ifconfig" will display all of your network interfaces (and their IP addresses)

try using system("shutdown -s -f -t 00");
Its not the best solution, but whether it works or not, it will be informative.

I couldnt imagine permissions causing that issue, but the fact that they are all in the same folder makes me think that. Check the permissions on those folders.

I typed a big ol' response before I rebooted and I swear I hit post. But I guess I failed at that too. I'm really striking out today.
Anyways. I took a look at those files, xorg.conf looked fine and...

I'll switch to linux and take a look at those two files. I think I may incidentally have a few backups of my xorg.conf file, so it would be a treat if that were the issue (I may not have them). It...

I recently decided to take a chance and install some unstable upgrades (I love unstable things). So I upgraded many of my applications via apt-get. One of the big things I upgraded was libc6. I think...

date is normally in /bin/ instead of /usr/bin/

or you can give full paths in your script.
e.g.
/usr/bin/less instead of less

I'm sure you don't use less, but its an example

the best thing to do is set the environment variables in your...

Oh yes. I am sorry. I forgot to mention that I did try that (sudo test) and the result was identical.
I found the solution by the way. However I am still puzzled.
It seems that == is accepted and...

I wrote a shell script that checks the command line arguments for the "-i" flag.
I designed it to run from inside my gui application.
I tested my script from the terminal and it runs perfectly,...

Ok, I found the problem. The problem was that my near clipping plane was too close to the viewer. gluPerspective(45,1,0.01,1) where before it was around 0.0001. I discovered this because I noticed...

Well, my laptop is a couple of years old, and the other machines are more than a couple years old. So I'm sure the info you are drawing from is valid.
You are probably more informed than I am,...

Ok, that explanation would make sense. I thought depth testing was all software though. The computer that it runs best on is my laptop, which just has what could be considered a "gaming" video card....

All the machines are Windows XP. Although some are kind of older computers. Non-gaming/work computers. Thats why I'm thinking its a version issue.

I'm not trying to distribute it. just test it. and i have actually compiled it from source on other machines, its the same problem.

I have written a few games in C++ with OpenGL, and I am working on another one now, its my biggest project. Everything works really great on my computer, but whenever I move my executable to another...

Ok, thank you very very much. That was what I needed to know. I don't like the nested for loops, but it will work.

Basically I want to set up a 3-dimensional array, but I want to dynamically allocate memory for it.

Say I read 3 variables from a file, all ints:
f, s, and v.
i want to allocate memory for...

you need an input statement inside your while loop.
Take the break statement out, it was an infinite loop because score can never = -999 because score never changes inside the loop.

I'm sorry, I should have mentioned that.

Do not listen to that advice. Java in my experience (BOTH programming and using programs developed in java) really bites. Speed is a huge issue with Java, I know people say its just as fast as...

What is the easiest way to get a user input string (char array) from within an OpenGL program? It doesn't have to look good, this is just for debugging purposes.
Thanks.

Oh, by the way, I know it was my suggestion, but I should tell you that it would be very bad programming practice.

You could generate valid c++ code that does a few couts to display the text and then output that to a text file and use system() with a command line compiler to compile it into an exe.

ok, here is my problem.

I am using sprintf to write a formatted string. That works fine.
it looks like this:
sprintf(buffer, "%f,%f,%i,%f,%f", user.x, user.y, user.dir, user.xspeed,...

If you still want it to pause so you can see the output, use cin.get();

Take out the system("PAUSE"); line at the end.

Very simple, 1 line solution.
Make a boolean variable called pause:

pause = !pause;

WSAGetLastError() always returns 0. which is nothing.

If you are using c and not c++, why dont you post in the c forum instead of the c++ one?

AMEN

If you are very good with C++ and you learn say OpenGL, it is not to ambitious to want to create a fps. The only thing that keeps me from making a fps is the fact that I can not draw people that...
