Hi there! Let''s say, I want use vertex_buffer_object with an interleaved vertex array. I also use DrawElements and element arrays. A vertex contains of 1 position vector and 2 texture coord vectors, one for the geometry texture, one for the lightmap. without using lightmap, I just passed the VertexPointer, and the TexcoordPointer to the 1st texcoord. this works. but what will I have to do, if want to make GL using the second texcoord, too, for the second texture unit? I can''t just pass a second TexcoordPointer, that doesnt work. Thanks in advance, unshaven

this looks like exactly what I was looking for,
thanks for the quick reply man!

damn it, it doesn''t work as it''s supposed to do.

my geometry appeares BLACK. when I turn my screen''s brightness up to the max, I then hardly see the pattern of the light-texture (which is a pattern of some light shades of gray, alomst white, in original).

when I have the #0 texture unit disabled with

glActiveTexture (GL_TEXTURE0);
glDisable (GL_TEXTURE_2D);

then the geometry appeares colored by the test light texture in its full brightness.

the texture for the texunit #0 I can only see if I
enable TU #0 with

glActiveTexture (GL_TEXTURE0);
glEnable (GL_TEXTURE_2D);

the #1 TU disabled like above,

AND outcommented this:

glClientActiveTexture (GL_TEXTURE1_ARB);
glTexCoordPointer (2, GL_FLOAT, sizeof (MyVertex), (char)* NULL + sizeof (float) * 5);

in the place where I initialize this stuff (every frame, just before starting to render the level geometry)

I also disable the #1 TU when drawing a skybox, right before passing the vertex & texcoord pointers and rendering the level.

I ensured that the bytes to shift are correct by, instead of hardcoding the 3*sizeof() and 5*sizeof(), I did something like
((char*) &VertexArray[0].pos - (char*) &VertexArray[0])
((char*) &VertexArray[0].tex[0] - (char*) &VertexArray[0])
((char*) &VertexArray[0].tex[1] - (char*) &VertexArray[0])
(I thought maybe wrong packing would result in false numbers otherwise)


So, why the hell does this not work?

Do I have to enable multitexturing in a special way?
Without using evrtex arrays, I would pass glMultiTexcoord2f instead of glTexcord2f.
Does the usage of VBO automatically turn multitexturing on, when I activate more than one texture unit?

Any ideas?

maybe I''m just dumb, but I don''t get it working
without using VBOs, multitexturing worked fine...

did you do this? (enable texcoord array for both textures) :

GL.ClientActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0_ARB);
GL.EnableClientState(GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY);

GL.ClientActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE1_ARB);
GL.EnableClientState(GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY);

if not i think you have to..

thanks man, that was exactly the problem. thank''s to you both.

I don''t have an OpenGL book, all I know about OGL I got from little code snippets here and there, maybe that''s not exactly the best way of perfectly understanding what''s going on behind the API.
