Make GRAPHICS_ACCUMBUFFER not default?

(Posted 2009) [#1]

After a lot of bug hunting I found out why minib3d is crashing under Parallels on my Mac Mini with NVIDIA 9400 graphics.

It can be solved by removing the GRAPHICS_ACCUMBUFFER flag in miniB3D TGlobal.Graphics3D()

so that it just reads: Graphics(width,height,depth,rate,GRAPHICS_BACKBUFFER|GRAPHICS_DEPTHBUFFER )

Can we have a way to set these flags at runtime or leave out the GRAPHICS_ACCUMBUFFER as default, or is this just a Parralels driver issue?

It seams that all ARB functions are messsed up, when adding the ACCUmBUFFER flag.

New code that should be backwards compatible:

functions.bmx

Function Graphics3D(width,height,depth=0,mode=0,rate=60,flags=-1)
	TGlobal.Graphics3D(width,height,depth,mode,rate,flags)
End Function

TGlobal.bmx

	Function Graphics3D(w,h,d=0,m=0,r=60,flags=-1)

		If flags = -1 Then flags = GRAPHICS_BACKBUFFER|GRAPHICS_DEPTHBUFFER|GRAPHICS_ACCUMBUFFER

		'mode:
		'0: windowed in debug mode, fullscreen in non-debug mode 
		'1: full-screen always 
		'2: windowed always 

		' change depth values so that Graphics will behave in the same way as Blitz3D-style Graphics3D
		Select m
			Case 0
				?debug
					d=0
				?
				?Not debug
					If d=0 Then d=16
				?
			Case 1
				If d=0 Then d=16
			Case 2
				d=0		
			Default
				d=0		
		End Select
			
		width=w
		height=h
		depth=d
		mode=m
		rate=r
		
		SetGraphicsDriver(GLMax2DDriver()) 
		Graphics(width,height,depth,rate,flags)
	
		GraphicsInit()
								
	End Function
