Problem with textures when loading 3ds file

[Wazaa]

Hi
I've read some tutorials and tried to write a 3ds file loader. It should support models and textures, but the textures doesn't appear. I don't think it's the loader that is the problem. Maybe the problem is in this area:

void createTextures(UINT textureArray[], LPSTR fileName, int textureID)
{
AUX_RGBImageRec *pBitmap = NULL;

if (!fileName) return;
pBitmap = auxDIBImageLoad(fileName);

if (pBitmap == 0) exit(0);

glGenTextures(1, &textureArray[textureID]);
glPixelStorei(GL_UNPACK_ALIGNMENT, 1);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, textureArray[textureID]);

glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTE R,GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_NEAREST);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTE R,GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR);

gluBuild2DMipmaps(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 3, pBitmap->sizeX, pBitmap->sizeY, GL_RGB, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, pBitmap->data);
if (pBitmap)
{
if (pBitmap->data)
{
free(pBitmap->data);
}
free(pBitmap);
}
} I've tried to check with glGetError() but it always returns invalid operation so I don't know if it really creates the texture.
The whole source is here (http://e43.sag.karlstad.se/it18/GLengine.zip) .

Thanks in advance

i can't offer much help, but just in case, have you checked that you're loading textures after a rendering context has been created? textures in gl can't be built until this is done, if i'm not mistaken. i used to do this absentmindedly all the time.

edit: i just checked your engine. you're loading the model prior to creating an opengl window. that's the problem. just move that code below and you should be fine.

Here's the one I use:


bool LoadBMPfile (TCHAR *FileName, GLuint Texture_ID)
{
AUX_RGBImageRec *pTexture = NULL;

pTexture = auxDIBImageLoad (FileName);

if (!pTexture) return false;

glTexImage2D (GL_PROXY_TEXTURE_2D, 0, 3, pTexture->sizeX, pTexture->sizeY, 0, GL_RGB, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, NULL);

glGetTexLevelParameteriv(GL_PROXY_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_TEXTURE_WIDTH, &pTexture->sizeX); // Ensure hardware can handle texture

if (pTexture->sizeX == 0)
{
CString ErrorText;
ErrorText.Format("BMP Texture File: %s is too large, or texture dimensions are not a Power of 2", FileName);
AfxMessageBox (ErrorText, MB_OK);
free (pTexture->data);
free (pTexture);
return false;
}
else
{
glBindTexture (GL_TEXTURE_2D, Texture_ID);

glTexEnvi (GL_TEXTURE_ENV,GL_TEXTURE_ENV_MODE, GL_MODULATE);

glTexParameterf (GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL_REPEAT);
glTexParameterf (GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T, GL_REPEAT);
glTexParameterf (GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);
glTexParameterf (GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);

glPixelStorei (GL_UNPACK_ALIGNMENT, 1);
glPixelStorei (GL_UNPACK_ROW_LENGTH, 0);
glPixelStorei (GL_UNPACK_SKIP_ROWS, 0);
glPixelStorei (GL_UNPACK_SKIP_PIXELS, 0);

glTexImage2D (GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, 3, pTexture->sizeX, pTexture->sizeY, 0, GL_RGB, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, pTexture->data);

free (pTexture->data);
free (pTexture);

return true;
}
}hope it helps

Thanks a lot!
Now it works perfectly :-)
