somewhere is the buffer, If you can draw your thing after the d3devil think or after the opengenius thing will work, I guess. How to get this buffer? I dont know.

Yeah, with D3D you need access to the object; which isn't exposed in hl. I was able to grab the direcSOUND object in quake2 (long before it went opensource, I did my own sound thing to play music in a quake2 mod I was doing) but I've never been successful in getting the d3d object for HL, so I just left it as a "can't be done" scenario.
(to get the dsound object you just need to find the active app, and work from there, the d3d one baffles me)

Hmm, haven't played with D3D at all, is the problem you just can't get reference to the surfaces/device context the engine uses i guess?
HL2 will be interesting to see if there is something available up in the client code such that we can do our own D3D calls should we need to... ;).

Yes to the opengl, no to the d3d.

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Alright, I've been researching the past few hours, my eyes hurt, and
I'm
tired. I want to draw triangles without a texture. Just colors. Why waste speed doing textures if I just want a flat color? Is this possible? I cannot make it work at all. As soon as I take the TexCoord calls out, it no longer works, regardless of me putting in Color() and Brightness() calls.
So, is the TriAPI only for textured triangles? I can obviously get around this by making a solid colored texture, but that seems like an awful hack to me.
Also, where should I start looking to get 'deeper' into the drawing code? Can I find if we are in OpenGL mode and just start making gl* calls on my own? Or if we are in DX mode and start making DirectX
calls?
Thanks ahead of time.
Keith
