Hello everyone, this is my first post here. I tried to implement a bloom effect into fly3d using the existing ship plugin. I've written the code in the draw_status function.Everything is fine and dandy, but i do have a problem.It seems the original viewport isn't resizing. I've called the glViewport function but still doesn't work.The effect appears fine in the background but in the forground i have that little 512x512 viewport. I really hope you guys know what i could do about it. Here is the code: //BLOOM CODE g_flyengine->draw_frame_tex(texture,g_flyengine->cam,flyRender::s_camangle,flyRender::s_aspect); glViewport(0,0,flyRender::s_screensizex,flyRender::s_screensizey); glLoadIdentity(); float alpha=0; float alpha1=0; int x_of=0; int x_of1=0; glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST); glDepthFunc(GL_LESS); glEnable(GL_BLEND); glBlendFunc(GL_ONE,GL_ONE); g_flytexcache->sel_tex(texture); g_flyrender->begin_draw2d(); for(int steps=1;steps<=24;steps++) { glBegin(GL_QUADS); glColor4f(0.01f,0.01f,0.01f,alpha1); glTexCoord2f(0, 0); glVertex2i(0-x_of,0); glTexCoord2f(1, 0); glVertex2i(flyRender::s_screensizex+x_of,0); glTexCoord2f(1, 1); glVertex2i(flyRender::s_screensizex+x_of,flyRender::s_screensizey); glTexCoord2f(0, 1); glVertex2i(0-x_of,flyRender::s_screensizey); glEnd(); glPopMatrix(); x_of+=12; alpha=alpha+0.02f; } glEnable(GL_BLEND); glBlendFunc(GL_ONE,GL_ONE); g_flytexcache->sel_tex(texture); g_flyrender->begin_draw2d(); for(steps=1;steps<=24;steps++) { glBegin(GL_QUADS); glColor4f(0.01f,0.01f,0.01f,alpha); glTexCoord2f(0, 0); glVertex2i(0,0-x_of1); glTexCoord2f(1, 0); glVertex2i(flyRender::s_screensizex,0-x_of1); glTexCoord2f(1, 1); glVertex2i(flyRender::s_screensizex,flyRender::s_screensizey+x_of1); glTexCoord2f(0, 1); glVertex2i(0,flyRender::s_screensizey+x_of1); glEnd(); glPopMatrix(); x_of1+=12; alpha1=alpha+0.02f; } g_flyrender->end_draw2d(); glDisable(GL_DEPTH_TEST); glViewport(0,0,flyRender::s_screensizex,flyRender::s_screensizey); glLoadIdentity(); Here is the screenshot with the problem, i've marked the little 512x512 viewport with red: http://www.cgdreams.net/problem.JPG I really hope you guys can help me, thx in advance and cheers!

Ok guys, nvm , i manage to solve the problem myself, here are some screenshots

Hey these are from the q3 map pad garden... damn it doesnt look this good in game. Very nice!!

Yes,i'm using the padgarden map for testing :) , it's a really great map, also i'm planning a project with backyards levels , so i guess the padgarden is the choice, i've tested out the bloom on other maps too, like natedm3 and some other quake3 maps.
