Right now, I'm trying really hard to update this really old vertex program to GLSL, and so far, it's been a complete nightmare. In fact, I've tried to convert this many times for a few years and never could get it to work! I even tried converting to an ARB vertex program and to a Direct3D vertex shader, but that didn't work either.
To be more specific, I have a really old OpenGL project that uses GL_NV_vertex_program for procedural animation of a jellyfish. This shouldn't be a challenge, really, because having a good understanding of both GL_NV_vertex_program and GLSL makes it less troublesome. Hopefully my problem is just something simple, but I can't pinpoint it to save my life. I had a friend on this forum that managed to do this successfully, but I've asked him twice, and he told me that not only did he forget how he did it, but he doesn't have the source code anymore! Aside from that, he's rarely on Skype.
Now, I really hate just "dumping" some code on you all and saying "plz help meee1!!!111!11", but I'm getting desperate, and my next course of action would be to bang my head against the wall. I'll only share the most relevant code because I converted much of the code to work on MacOSX, and chances are, you're a Windows user.
I'll start with the original GL_NV_vertex_program and the GLSL vertex program I wrote:

Now, one of your first thoughts might be "why on earth are you using glVertex3fv and friends?" FYI I didn't write the original code, this came from a [very] old version of the NVSDK and this code was invaluable to me and my future endeavours, so I wanted to expand on it.
Also, I wanted to state that instead of inverting and transposing the modelview matrix every frame, I thought that using gl_NormalMatrix would suffice (since it's essentially the same thing in a 3x3 matrix). Not sure if that matters, but I thought I'd add that in there anyway.
Lastly, I'm using GLSL 1.2 for the time being because I want to port this to OpenGL ES 2.x+ later on. Of course, my main goal is just getting it to work, so I can move on to more important things. After this works, I'll be moving on to GLSL 4.3, of course.
Hopefully this is enough information, and sorry if I started going off on tangents. I'm almost to the point where I'm ready to hire someone to help me with this! This really sucks. Any ideas? Thanks, I really appreciate it.
