Dark lines on textures on interiors

I'm sure this has been asked before but I couldn't find it mentioned.

When I create a simple box to house my level and texture it, there are dark lines running along the seems. This seems to vary depending on what you do.

I am making a level out of graphpaper and want it to look very clean, but I have dark banding at the eye level of the player - is there anyway I can get rid of this?

Are you using the opengl driver? The opengl driver tends to do that.

Yes I am using OpenGL... Am I stuck with it? (using an inno3d6220a card)

Someone may want to add the following code to the poly rendering functions:

Code: Select all

glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL_CLAMP);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T, GL_CLAMP);
That should fix the seams.

In addition, what size texture are you using?

In the first screen shot the texture is 128x128

In the second its a mighty 512x512

Thanks

You might want to try scaling down your texture size on the second one for performance reasons. OpenGL and DX will "cut up" any texture that is over 256x256 hurting performance.

The GL_CLAMP should get rid of the seams. Just someone's got to implement it. ;) Hint....Hint...
