Example of the border around the screen a la quake, doom plus a request for help

Greetings all, A common question I see on here a lot is how to do the border around the screen that holds the stuff like the health percentage and whatever. Thanks to the help of several posters on here I finally got something like it to work. The code should be right here: http://home.att.net/~tennisman2/TryingToCombine.zip (It's VC++ 6.0 code) Basically you combine ortho mode and perspective mode, and you fiddle a little with depth testing to get it to either always be on top or always be in the back. I haven't completely figured out all the math but I'm working on it! When I have time I'll try to whip up a sample that has a bitmap divided into two triangles where the upper left triangle is a solid color and the rest is transparent (so that your border doesn't have to be solid blocks). Now my request for help - I'm putting text on the screen in ortho mode as well, but it's ignoring the color I specify with glColor3f - any idea what I might be doing wrong? It's always appearing on the screen as brown. In another more complex app where I'm having the same problem it's always appearing black. Thanks as always Joe [edited by - DalTXColtsFan on April 13, 2003 3:36:28 PM]

According to the Red Book it''s the MAG texture filter you can''t use GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR with, not the MIN filter. GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER must be GL_NEAREST or GL_LINEAR.

Oh, sorry my fault... I had just gotten confused.
