No red in OpenGL?

[hotdog003]

yeah, I have a Win2k '98 Laptop with a screen with a deafault res of 1024x768. I don't like this, so I turn on the BIOS's Strech Screen When To Small mode. Srb2 runs fine in software mode in 640x480. The problem is, when I run OpenGL, there is absolutly NO RED AT ALL! This problem is in some other programs, too, Not just in srb2. How might I fix this?

I've actually seen that before. One of the crap computers in my high school had that effect. All I can say is to run in software, because it's the computer, not SRB2.

Laptops tend to be very crappy nowadays. You might want to use a home PC insted.

Don't use OGL ;P

Upgrade your video drivers. That blue-and-green nonsense happened to me too until I did so.

 

[hotdog003]

Actually, it's a 1998 laptop. (They don't make 'em like they used to.) Is there any way I can fix this without updating my video drivers? Would updating OpenGL itself help?

 

[a441]

What do you mean "OpenGL yourself"? Your video drivers have to support OpenGL. I'm not sure what the computer's age has to do with updating drivers.

yeah, everytime i try to use ogl for srb2 on my computer everything has a shade of green. -_-

Well, Megasonic wrote

, so I clarified that it was a '98 laptop. Would updating opengl.dll (or something like that) help at all?

 

[a441]

No, r_opengl.dll is SRB2-specific. I assume that's what you meant. Go to your video card manufacturer's web site and look for updated drivers there.

 

[hotdog003]

Nah. I'll just live with it. Neat lighting effects onOGL. Especially when you get a shield or invincibility. Why can't you do this in software?

Actually, I had that problem with my old graphics card, but installing new drivers DID help..
