irrlicht 1.8.0 and occlusion

[jeromebdx]

Hello everyone

I am trying to test occlusion, the example run well !

But when I am trying to test the occlusion query with another source, I get crashed in the function extGlGenQueries (more precisely pGlGenQueriesARB).
So I have two questions :
- Why this function use _IRR_OPENGL_USE_EXTPOINTER_ part code and not GL_NV_occlusion_query (I have a nvidia graphic board on archlinux, and my system is configured well) ? Something todo before compiling ?
- I saw in the occlusion example, that the node is put in the occlusion system before the first rendering, so it's possible to add/remove node in the stream ?

Thanks a lot

GL_NV_occlusion_query wouldn't work on an ATI card, so Irrlicht must use a generic way, though that depends also on the drivers.

_IRR_OPENGL_USE_EXTPOINTER_ is just a define with which you can disable the extension pointer technique. Underneath, all the proper and supported GL extensions are used. You don't have to do anything for their usage.
I am not sure if and how changing the nodes works. It should for sure. But I only tested these functions as far as shown in the examples basically.

Ok, I found my problem, I tried to add node in a separate thread.
So I moved the code in the main thread (in the graphic loop) and it's works

Thanks for you answers !
