Title: First oGL Intro - VROOM Remake
Post by: Knurz on March 20, 2012: Hi Guys!

I finished my first openGL Intro - a remake of Vision Factory's "VROOM" Intro which I liked back then in the old days :).

Hope you like it, your opinion would be nice.. I tested it on Systems from my friends ("U want to install a virus!!!") and it worked on several resolutions/Windows Versions. As "source" I took this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YV-pu1tpsLQ .

I included the sourcecode, maybe its helpful - some debug stuff is still in there.. :).

Post by: padman on March 20, 2012: The scroller runs too fast on my system (Win7 x64), but besides that, well done! And K+ for including the source. ;)

Post by: Knurz on March 20, 2012: Hey!

Thanks alot :).

@Padman: I forgot to add 4 lines, so the waiting loop didn't actually do anything and it runs too fast on systems which vsync off.
I updated my starting post with a new binary and updates source.

Post by: Shockwave on March 21, 2012: Nice remake of this classic intro, I can see you've had some fun with it.
I like the interference filter you've added to the graphics too.

The music doesn't quite play perfectly - maybe Stormbringer can help with this :)

Post by: Blacksheep8Bit on March 22, 2012: Not gonna lie, i loved this, thats a very good start, actually better than mine xD

BUT, are you sure about ufmod? Because there were some Pitchbend errors in the music, why don't try MiniFmod?

Post by: Knurz on March 22, 2012: First, thanks for testing and the replies.

The filter is my first shader (after reading lighthouse3d's tutorial about a hundred times :) ), inspired by the Razor Demos :).

@BlackSheep: I've seen your sheeptro too, loved the camera movement, very very smooth!
You think minifmod is more accurate with xm Files ? I took ufmod because it's easy and small...

@Jace: :-[ What did they say ?

Have a nice day :).

Well, at least in my opinion miniFmod deals better with some effects. I Do suggest you try both, and use the one witch plays the music better :D

I Am currently using miniFmod and it runs without problems here.

Ps: sheeptro? Well, thats a nice name for my intros! :D

Post by: Knurz on April 07, 2012: Hi.

Really strange... Can you tell me which graphicscard you have ?

Seems that some drivers response with 1-sized char array after the call "glGetObjectParameterivARB", some response with a NULL, and your's seems to response with "No Errors".. mhh strange :)
