So the problem: I draw two or three textures on screen at the end of every custom display loop, based on PNGs with transparent backgrounds, using lodePNG to do so (a quick file set that works really well for just getting PNGs in, and that's it. No fancy loading bits), only sometimes the PNG textures show up as light yellow or pure white boxes of the same size (probably pure white, just hard for me to tell and screenshots aren't working) and other times they completely refuse to show up. Strangest yet is it differs from texture to texture, and sometimes one shows up fine and the other never appears, or they'll show up but freeze, or freeze and some combination of appearing well, appearing as white boxes, or not showing up.
I think it has to do with glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D) since moving that around influences other elements. I used to have a problem where the screen would flash a silhouette of the 3D models when leaving PNG mode (the pause screen) but got rid of that by putting glDisable(GL_TEXTURE_2D) at the beginning of every new draw call, and not putting it at the end even though usually it's main draw calls, glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D), pause menu draw calls/PNG usage, glDisable(GL_TEXTURE_2D).
Anyways, I'm probably butchering all that. Here's some code to clear things up:
void display() {
glScissor(0,0,windowWidth,windowHeight);
glViewport(0,0,windowWidth,windowHeight);
// Make sure background is black first, then draw on top of it
glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT); // do not understand order, but this works
// Drawing all player views
for (int i=0; i<getPlayerCount(); i++) {
if (getPlayerPlayable(i)) {
// First take care of remnants from last menu
glDisable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
// Four player splitscreen vals
int posX = windowWidth/2*(i==1 || i==3);
int posY = windowHeight/2*(i==2 || i==3);
int viewW = windowWidth*1/2;
int viewH = windowHeight*1/2;
glScissor(posX,posY,viewW,viewH);
glViewport(posX, posY, viewW, viewH);
// custom draw commands for view of 3D world
displayFor(i);
// Menu drawing
glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
drawMenu(i);
}
}
glutSwapBuffers();
}And since it's referenced, may as well throw in displayFor too:
// Draw an entire player's screen
void displayFor(int player) {
// Paint background cyan to neon blue
glClearColor(getMapRed(), getMapGreen(), getMapBlue(), 0.0f); // do this here to allow black borders
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW); // must set this here to undo silhouette's effects later
glLoadIdentity();
/* Push Matrix, scale, rotate, translate, and draw vertices go in here with different calls, then a pop matrix to end it */
/* There's also a shadow function in there with some stuff I'm not fully comfortable with yet, will post that if needed */
}So finally, the drawMenu function
// Draws the 2D PNGs themselves as textures
void drawMenu(int i) {
// Don't use whole viewport since different menu for every player
//glViewport(0, 0, windowWidth, windowHeight); // don't need?
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION); // necessary
glLoadIdentity(); // this one seems to be necessary
// Actual dimensions compared to expected dimensions (for now, my screen fullscreen)
GLfloat aspect = ((GLfloat)windowWidth / (GLfloat)windowHeight)/(1600.0/1050.0);
//gluPerspective(45.0, aspect*windowWidth/windowHeight, 0.050, 100.0);
if (aspect > 1.0) {
glOrtho(0, 1600*aspect, 1050, 0, -1, 1); // necessary
} else {
glOrtho(0, 1600, 1050/aspect, 0, -1, 1); // necessary
}
//glOrtho(0, 1600*aspect, 1050, 0, -1, 1); // necessary
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW); // don't need?
glLoadIdentity(); // don't need?
glDisable(GL_CULL_FACE);
//glDisable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
glEnable(GL_BLEND);
glDisable(GL_ALPHA_TEST); // no visible effect yet
// Enable the texture for OpenGL.
glTexParameterf(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR); // slight smoothing when smaller than norm
glTexParameterf(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_NEAREST); // no smoothing when full size and up
// Still unsure of functionality, but known importance!
// glColor4ub brings back color to the PNG where it was black before
glColor4ub(255, 255, 255, 255);
// Where the logo is for bouncing/rotating
int time;
time = clock();
// Only draw any of it if paused
if (!getGameplayRunning()) {
// Start screen?
if (getLastPause() == -1) {
logoImage.draw(20.0*sin(time/1600.0),50+10.0*sin(time/800.0),aspect,false);
// Blink the press start/enter image
if (time%1200 < 900) {
if (joystickConnected()) {
pressStartImage.draw(0,700,aspect,false);
} else {
pressEnterImage.draw(0,700,aspect,false);
}
}
// Regular pause!
} else {
int option = getOption(i); // Option currently selected
float rotation = 5.0*sin(time/300.0); // Selected option rotates back and forth
resumeImage.draw(0,25,aspect,(option==0)*rotation);
creditsImage.draw(0,325,aspect,(option==1)*rotation); // will be options later
quitImage.draw(0,625,aspect,(option==2)*rotation);
}
}
glDisable(GL_BLEND);
glEnable(GL_ALPHA_TEST);
// depth test removed, was enabled here and disabled above, caused flashing
//glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
glEnable(GL_CULL_FACE);
}Er, and I guess you want to see how my Image class works too. This is it, I promise!

}Thanks guys! I know this is a lot of code to provide... but I'm really not sure how to cut it down more than that at this point.
