SDL OpenGL screenshot problem
Author
Hi,
I am having a weird problem with the glReadPixels() function, probably in conjunction with SDL.
I am trying to take a screen shot in an old 3D game that had been ported to SDL+OpenGL by other people. For some reason however, I get total junk images, even if calling glReadPixels() right before or after swapping the render buffers.
If however I set a breakpoint before calling glReadPixels() and step over it in the debugger, I get a nice screenshot of my desktop.
Here is how I call glReadPixels():

You're right, but I am using GLubyte. That was just a mistake from posting it here. Apart from that it doesn't really matter - the buffer just needs to big enough.

Here are two pictures of how it should look (taken with FRAPS), and how it does look (taken in-game with glReadPixels()):

Actually, the in-game screenshot is very distorted: At the top some of the textures from the game are still somehow recognizeable.
I am totally clueless what's wrong here.

Hey is that some version of descent?
Anyways, you bogus pic doesnt even have a distorted version of the good pic, which gives me the impression that your grabbing that image from a bad memory location. Like maybe the buffer that your reading from is filled with garbage. My suggestion, dump the buffer into another offscreen buffer, and save the data from that buffer. If that doesn't work, then I don't know what to tell you.

If you look very closely, you will see some distorted parts of the upper area of the good screen shot.
Yes, this is d2x, an OpenGL version of Descent.

Obviously the problem is hardware/driver related. I tried the screenshot function on older NVidia hardware today, and everything worked fine. On my X800XT PE w/ Catalyst 5.2 it doesn't. ATI and OpenGL. ):<
Update: Doesn't work on a GF FX 5950 either.
