I've been modifying this md5mesh loader/parser to comply with my engine and I would like to switch the display function to use OpenGL call lists as opposed to glVertex pointers
[source lang="cpp"]//original display function/* Draw each mesh of the model */ for (i = 0; i < md5file.num_meshes; ++i) { PrepareMesh (&md5file.meshes[i], skeleton); glVertexPointer (3, GL_FLOAT, 0, vertexArray); glDrawElements (GL_TRIANGLES, md5file.meshes[i].num_tris * 3, GL_UNSIGNED_INT, vertexIndices); }[/source]

[source lang="cpp"]//My function /* Draw each mesh of the model */ for (i = 0; i < md5file.num_meshes; ++i) { PrepareMesh (&md5file.meshes[i], skeleton); glVertexPointer (3, GL_FLOAT, 0, vertexArray); do { //glColor4f /*if transparent*/ glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES); //gltexcoord2f() //times = times + 1; glVertex3f(vertexArray[times][0],vertexArray[times][1],vertexArray[times][2]); //gltexcoord2f() times = times + 1; glVertex3f(vertexArray[times][0],vertexArray[times][1],vertexArray[times][2]); //gltexcoord2f() times = times + 1; glVertex3f(vertexArray[times][0],vertexArray[times][1],vertexArray[times][2]); glEnd(); times = times + 1; }while(times < md5file.meshes[i].num_tris); } glutSwapBuffers (); glutPostRedisplay ();}[/source]
. When I compiled it the outline of the model looks fine but the triangles of it are not correct.

Something I noticed was your 'times' counter is going up every vertex but is then checked against the number of tris. Obviously it should be getting checked against the number of verts? Maybe just use the num_tris * 3?

No thats not the problem, fixed it last night thanks anyway

Can you post what the problem was? Just in case others come across something similar?
