LWJGL with GLIntercept

[Momoko_Fan]

I tried using GLIntercept to track GL calls but apparently LWJGL automatically uses it's own version of opengl32.dll Is there any way to override that?

[Matzon]

no it doesn't! - something else must be wrong! (not even an opengl32.dll in the zip file! - we would have to supply one for each graphics card vendor!)

[Momoko_Fan]

Erm, I mean regardless of what I try, the opengl32.dll I provide in the working directory is ignored and the file in C:\Windows\System32\opengl32.dll is used.

I think you have to use the working directory of the jre. I think it is the bin folder.

Thanks! That worked. Though now I have a different issue.. when running through GLIntercept, I am getting "Invalid operation (1282)". GLIntercept reports it as:
"GL ERROR - Function wglGetPixelFormat generated error GL_INVALID_OPERATION"

This is the part of the log that is important

wglSwapIntervalEXT(1)=true 
glGetError()=GL_NO_ERROR 
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT)
wglGetCurrentContext()=0x10000 
wglMakeCurrent(0x340119e4,0x10000)
----->wglGetPixelFormat(0x340119e4)=7 =true 
glGetError()=GL_NO_ERROR 
wglSwapBuffers(0x340119e4)
----->wglGetPixelFormat(0x340119e4)=7 =true 
wglGetPixelFormat(0x340119e4)=7  
glGetError()=GL_INVALID_OPERATION

I am running on nVidia GeForce 8400M GS with driver 185.20 [Dox Optimized], OpenGL3 compatible. Is it possible that GLIntercept doesn't work well with the new nvidia drivers (or OGL3)?

[Momoko_Fan]

By the way, I found the solution. If anybody is interested, you should catch the exception happening in glGetError(), it's because LWJGL makes GL calls before the context is current and GLIntercept doesn't really like it (it's a known issue). Other than that it seems to work fine.
I would strongly suggest to use GLSL Devil instead though, it's much better, has GUI, and doesn't have the aforementioned error.
