why loadtexture not working for me?
Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/why loadtexture not working for me?
| ||
| i am new with 3d Graphics 640,480 p2=LoadImage("texturetest.jpg") DrawImage p2,0,0 works fine but in the same code (after graphics 3d and all that jazz) p2=LoadTexture("texturetest.jpg") EntityTexture ter,p2 it says 'texture does not exist' (the terrain does exist) is there something special about loadtexture i don't understand? i don't know how to get information about what is wrong. i tried a bmp instead of jpg. that didn't work. the jpg is stored 'baseline' with no preview, compression level 6. nothing special that i can see. |

| Texture size might be not supported. While images are not hardware bound, the texture has to fullfill your hardware support. - 2^x x 2^x meassures like 128x128 etc - not larger than 512x512 |

| erk, how do i know what to do, what to check? i just tried a 3d beginners tutorial from Ray Diaz, and i'm getting something similar: Texture does not exist for: cube_tile = LoadTexture("Floor.jpg") floor1 = CreateCube() ScaleEntity floor1,8,0.06,13 ScaleTexture cube_tile,.5,.5 but works fine for ter_tex = LoadTexture("mossyground.bmp") EntityTexture terrain,ter_tex I'm using a matrox parhelia (3 monitor) setup. i am completely lost as to what to do here. thanks for any help! |

| is the texture in the same folder as the source file? |
| ||
| yes, and other textures seem to work, just not all of them. this might be why sometimes software doesn't work for me, just crashes for no known reason. ? maybe my graphics card? matrox parhelia 3 monitors do you think that has something to do with it, and how can i figure it out? and is there a workaround? i would happily buy 3 graphics cards to run my 3 monitors if that's going to solve it - the parhelia is kind of slow nowadays. (I cannot give up the 3 monitor setup though!) |

| i tried some demos in the blitz3d samples folder, and most work, but for example i get 'texture does not exist' for birdie/Quick Deform/qd.bb as it tries to load bl3d_big.jpg, the blitz3d logo. so clearly there's something wrong with my setup - but when i'm writing a game how am i going to make sure that most people can play it and won't have problems? what textures should i avoid? clearly birdie didn't realize some computers would have trouble with this texture - how is the author to know? also got a complaint on this: bush = LoadSprite("bush2.tga",4) PositionEntity bush, 90,6,135 i am not sure what tga files are yet, but it cannot be good that i'm getting these errors. i just tried it on my laptop, a toshiba satellite, and it works fine. is it possible my graphics card is simply crap and i need to get new ones? i am running matrox parhelia 128, should i just get the martox parhelia 256, could that possibly solve it? (ps:i updated my drivers - it made it worse! i've since rolledback) |
