Title: SFML 2 OpenGL version
Post by: FierceForm on July 05, 2011, 10:06:33 pm

Hello,

So I'm trying to change the OpenGL version on my SFML Project. I took out the important code to show you what I am currently doing below.

Code: [Select]

#include <SFML/Window.hpp>
#include <SFML/System.hpp>
#include <SFML/OpenGL.hpp>
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
sf::Window Win;

sf::ContextSettings cs;

cs.MajorVersion = 2;
cs.MinorVersion = 0;
cs.DepthBits = 32;
cs.StencilBits = 0;
cs.AntialiasingLevel = 0;

Win.Create(sf::VideoMode(1024, 768, 32), "Sortmania", sf::Style::Default, cs);

std::cout<< Win.GetSettings().MajorVersion << "." << Win.GetSettings().MinorVersion;

return 0;
}

However, when I run that code, no matter what I put in for the MajorVersion and MinorVersion, it returns the same version, 2.1. I want to get this working so that I can change it to OpenGL 3.2 when OS X Lion comes out (I understand that it does have 3.2, and the release date is soon). I've tried setting it to a few versions, but I'm not sure it's working. Is this supposed to happen, and will work with 3.2, or am I missing something?

EDIT:
Also, it's quite interesting that I can set the antialiasing level to something impossibly high (1024) and it returns the same antialiasing level.

Can we get some information like what version of SFML you are using?

SFML 2, latest from the repository.

If you use anything below 3.0 you'll get 2.1, since this is the only version that OS X < Lion implements. Specifying a version less than 3.0 is always meaningless with OpenGL, you can really choose the version only since GL 3.0.

Yeah, so when OS X Lion comes out, it'll work when I select 3.2 without any changes?

Yes it should work.
