When building on Windows using Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition, I get the error "OpenGL error: invalid value at file: c:\projects\glest\glest\source\shared_lib\sources\graphics\gl\particle_renderer_gl.cpp, line 133" the 1st time an AttackParticleSystem is created. To recreate, I start up Glest on the magic faction and nuke my initiate with a battle mage. As soon as the fireball would otherwise appear out of the battle mage's hands, it crashes here. If I run in debug, I can step set a breakpoint there and it's actually the 2nd time it reaches ParticleRendererGl::renderSystem() that the call to glGetError() returns 1281. I have a crappy Mobile Intel 945GM Express video chipset, but I can play the pre-compiled 3.1.0 without this problem. Research on the net reveals that crappy video cards are often the cause of this error in some other games. Perhaps Martino is building and/or linking against some different opengl headers/libs that don't cause this problem?
Here is what I'm using:
- Windows XP SP2
- Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition
- Ogg/Vorbis win32 sdk v 1.0.1
- xerces-c 2.8.0
- SGI's GLsdk with modified glprocs.c & glprocs.h (replacing the "const" functions with "const char*" as described in thread)
- DirectX SDK Nov2007
- not using w32api, and leaving the default include and lib paths that hit this crappy "Windows SD v 6.0a" that comes with VC++ Express. BTW, this doesn't have glaux.lib but I removed it from the linker config and I didn't get any unresolved symbols.
- I am currently producing this error using r125 from svn, but I've gotten a few other previous revisions to do it as well.
Any ideas on what's wrong here? Would I have better luck using the w32api instead of the default Windows SDK v6.0a? Perhaps a different GL extensions manager library like GLEW? I don't know OpenGL or DirectX libraries very well at all. All help appreciated.
If it helps at all, this is the entire stack trace:
