NEED HELP wih a MD2 loader
Author
hi guys, im doing a md2 loader, based mostly in the sample of opengl game programming book, basically, i just changed the variables, and some other little things, the problems is that it loads the model well, but im having troubles with the display method.
here is the code:

for(i=0;inum_triangles;i++){
sorry this is
for(i=0;inum_triangles;i++){
Author
well i coundt do it, u understand:
for i = 0, while i is less than vertices of the model * num_frame
for i = 0, while i is less than vertices of the model * num_frame
Author
the problems isnt the loop code, is just i dont know why that part of the fort doesnt display well here.
the problem is with the i pass to glVertex3f, the compiler cant evaluate them, dont know what im doing bad.

if frame_vertices is a pointer of type CVector3 you can''t access its elements like you have
you need to write
not

"Without a sense of humour we couldn''t react to a lot of things"
you need to write
frame_vertices[0]->x; not
frame_vertices[0].x; -----------------------

Incorrect, the [] dereferences the pointer.
As for the "cannot evaluate expression", that means that the variable is either out of scope, or has no valid value at that point in the code. Make sure that you aren''t overstepping the bounds of the arrays that you''re using, the pointers are all valid, etc...
Death of one is a tragedy, death of a million is just a statistic.
whoops.. i missed that.. thought it was an array of pointers.. apologies

I don't see anything wrong with your code, so it could be that you load the model incorrectly. Anyway, the display code for the md2 'should' be something like:
Vector3f is the same as your vector class.
glCommands are laoded from the model. The GL Game Programming book loads the commands but doesn't use them.
(This is not the best way to draw the model, but it works if you've loaded the model correctly. A better way is to put it in some sort of Vertex Array.)
Actually, I don't think this will help you much

void DrawModel(const MD2Modeli* modeli, int frame_num){ int vertex_num; // How many vertices of the type const int* glCommand; // Pointer to the GL Commands const Vector3f* vertex; // Pointer to the models vertices const Vector3f* normal; // Pointer to the normals vertices int index; // Index of the vertices // Get vertices and GL commands glCommand = modeli->model->glCommands; vertex = &modeli->model->vertices[modeli->model->numVertices * frame_num]; normal = &modeli->model->normals [modeli->model->numVertices * frame_num]; // Bind skin texture glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, modeli->textureID); // Loop til end of GL Commands while(*glCommand != 0) { // Check what type to draw if(*glCommand > 0) { // Strip vertex_num = *glCommand++; glBegin(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP); } else { // Fan vertex_num = -*glCommand++; glBegin(GL_TRIANGLE_FAN); } // Draw a number of vertices in the specified way while(vertex_num--) { float u = *(float*)glCommand++; // Read as float float v = 1 - *(float*)glCommand++; // Beacuse of Z->Y switch index = *glCommand++; glTexCoord2f(u, v); glNormal3fv((float*)&normal[index]); glVertex3fv((float*)&vertex[index]); } // End this type glEnd(); } return;} Vector3f is the same as your vector class.
