GLIntercept

GLIntercept is a super handy debugging tool that helps you capture and log all the OpenGL calls on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows computers. It works with any application that's compatible with OpenGL, which is pretty cool!

Getting Started with GLIntercept

One important thing to remember is that you need to download the version that matches the architecture of the program you want to debug. It doesn't have to match your operating system, though, so keep that in mind!

Easy Installation Process

The installation process for GLIntercept is quick and simple. You won’t need to do much after starting it up! Once it's installed, you'll need to copy two files: opengl32.dll and gliConfig.ini. You can find these in the installation directory; just place them into the .exe folder of the application you're planning to intercept for OpenGL calls.

Customizing Your Configuration

If you want, you can take a look at the gliConfig.ini file and make some changes if the default setup isn’t quite what you need. For instance, you can turn off function call logging, or choose to flush logs after each OpenGL call, which can help troubleshoot crashes. Plus, you can set where you'd like your logged files saved; otherwise, they will go into the same spot as opengl32.dll.

Predefined Configurations Available

The package comes with several predefined configuration files right out of the box! For example, there’s one for basic text logging along with image list dumping (that’s your default gliConfig.ini). There's also a demo showing how to use an OpenGL version override plugin (gliConfig_ExtOverride.ini) and another one that includes settings preferred by the author (gliConfig_DebugContext.ini).
