I am trying to combine fonts and the 3d world from tutorial 10 and I have a few questions: The questions are about this part of the code ( DRAW-part)-> int DrawGLScene(GLvoid) // Here''s Where We Do All The Drawing { glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT / GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT); // Clear The Screen And The Depth Buffer glLoadIdentity(); // Reset The View glTranslatef(0.0f,0.0f,-1.0f); // verplaats Z(-1) om text te zien // Position The Text On The Screen glRasterPos2f(-0.05f, 0.32f); glPrint("SOME TEXT"); // Print GL Text To The Screen glRasterPos2f(-0.13f, 0.22f); glPrint("SOME MORE TEXT"); // Print GL Text To The Screen cnt1+=0.051f; // Increase The First Counter cnt2+=0.005f; // Increase The First Counter glTranslatef(0.0f,0.0f,1.0f); // *verplaats Z(+1) om terug te gaan naar de oude positie GLfloat x_m, y_m, z_m, u_m, v_m; GLfloat xtrans = -xpos; GLfloat ztrans = -zpos; GLfloat ytrans = -walkbias-0.25f; GLfloat sceneroty = 360.0f - yrot; int numtriangles; glRotatef(lookupdown,1.0f,0,0); glRotatef(sceneroty,0,1.0f,0); glTranslatef(xtrans, ytrans, ztrans); glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture[filter]); numtriangles = sector1.numtriangles; // Process Each Triangle for (int loop_m = 0; loop_m < numtriangles; loop_m++) { glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES); // DRAW THE VERTICES glEnd(); } return TRUE; // Everything Went OK } 1: I want to display the framerate, but i move the current position 1 unit into space using glTranslatef(0.0f,0.0f,-1.0f);I can''t see the text when I''m too close to the texure.. Ofcourse I understand why that is (it''s behind the texture).. but I don''t know how to solve the problem.. IN SHORT: How to draw always on top? 2: Colors: When I set the color somewhere in my Draw routine it affects everything, but all I want is to change the font color.. How can I do that? That''s all.. Please help me out.. Blizz

Thanks!

You really helped me out on question 1, but 2 doesn't seem to work right..

After I draw the rectangles I do this :

glLoadIdentity(); // Reset The View
glDisable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
glColor4ub(0, 255, 0, 255);
glTranslatef(0.0f,0.0f,-1.0f); // verplaats Z(-1) om text te zien
glRasterPos2f(-0.05f, 0.32f); // Position The Text On The Screen
glPrint("PROFILE"); // Print GL Text To The Screen
glRasterPos2f(-0.13f, 0.22f);
glPrint("by Runez Creations"); // Print GL Text To The Screen

cnt1+=0.051f; // Increase The First Counter
cnt2+=0.005f; // Increase The First Counter

glTranslatef(0.0f,0.0f,0.0f); // *verplaats Z(+1) om terug te gaan naar de oude positie
glColor4ub(255, 255, 255, 255);
glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);

- disable/enable depth testing like you said and I change the color and back. But the color still isn't right. When I want it to be red .. it becomes very brownlike red, and when I want green .. very dark green to .. not a bright color like I want it to be ..

Anyone?

I dunno, i dont have implent OpenGL in me demo yet.

But, why what you said and the code i see, its seem like, if your text is blended with your backbuffer
...

Just a tought
