OpenGl problem!
Author
I exported a .map file, and converted the vertices to a pure list file.
This file is then passed to my program which stores them in an 2dimensional array. This array is passed to
glVertex3f( data[][], data[][], data[][])
So using the indices I loop thorugh the entire array and construct the object out of GL_TRIANGLES.
Problem is however that
a) the object once drawn is missing bits.
b) the program crashes after several seconds.
also the object is rotating which seems to work fine.
Any ideas????
Try to step through it in debug mode. Have a look on the arrays while doing this. Maybe any of the operations tries to access an invalid (unassigned) memory area. You should also check the declaration of the array; is it assigned dynamically, or has it a constant size? If so, maybe your program crashes because you try to access fields of the array which point to no data.
It would be much easier to help you if you provided more information, better a snippet from your code!

float data[1000][3];
for (ctr = 0 ; ctr<=340 ; ctr++)
fscanf(in, "%f %f %f", &data[ctr][0], &data[ctr][1], &data[ctr][2]);
for (rav = 0 ; rav<=340 ; rav++)
{
glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES);
glVertex3f(data[rav][0], data[rav][1], data[rav][2] );
glEnd();
}

I doubt it will help your problem (well, maybe), but you should put glBegin/glEnd outside of your loop. glBegin and glEnd are somewhat expensive calls. And you don''t draw any triangles, only vertices. That''s bad. A triangle is made up from three vertices.

Demon lord, is right, it is the glBegin/glEnd calls, but he may be drawing triangles, it depends on what the file is using

I don''t know if this is a problem or not, but if you are using .map files from a Quake engine editor those vertices that you are using will never form the geometry that is shown in the editor. The vertices in that file are used to generate plane equations and then those planes are clipped against eachother to form the correct geometry. Again, I''m not sure if you are using a Quake editor, but its just a thought.
