[Help] Extracting Tiles from a NPOT Sprite Sheet

[kelechi96]

Basically I have created a sprite sheet/tileset with dimentions of 320 x 2048, the tiles are each 32 x 32. I've been able to load individual files with textures in them but I don't seem to be able to load textures from a sprite sheet. Any help ?

Of course this is perfectly doable, and even in 2 very different ways.
Either load the whole as a NPOT texture, and when rendering each tile, use very specific texture coordinates to select onle the 32x32 desired part.
Or load the image in RAM, and inside your program create a different GL texture for each tile (maybe simpler to do, but less performance due to many switches of active texture).

Please be more specific about the help you need.

I thought had done the first option "use very specific texture coordinates", but all my tiles are just plain white.

This is my tiling function

float VertexX[4], VertexY[4];
int TexcoordX, TexcoordY;
for (int y = 0; y < WorldSizey; ++y)
{
    for (int x = 0; x < WorldSizex; ++x)
    {
        CalculateTextureSheetCoords(TileData[0][y][x],
            TilesetX,32,TexcoordX,TexcoordY);
 
        CalculateTextureVertexCoords(TilesetX,TilesetY,TexcoordX,
            TexcoordY,32,VertexX[0],VertexY[0],VERTEX_LOWER_LEFT);
        CalculateTextureVertexCoords(TilesetX,TilesetY,TexcoordX,
            TexcoordY,32,VertexX[1],VertexY[1],VERTEX_UPPER_LEFT);
        CalculateTextureVertexCoords(TilesetX,TilesetY,TexcoordX,
            TexcoordY,32,VertexX[2],VertexY[2],VERTEX_UPPER_RIGHT);
        CalculateTextureVertexCoords(TilesetX,TilesetY,TexcoordX,
            TexcoordY,32,VertexX[3],VertexY[3],VERTEX_LOWER_RIGHT);
 
        glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
        glColor4fv(TextureColour);
        glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D,TILESET);
        glBegin(GL_QUADS);
        glTexCoord2f(VertexX[0],VertexY[0]);
        glVertex2f(x/8,(WorldSizey-(y+1))/8); //Lower left
        glTexCoord2f(VertexX[1],VertexY[1]);
        glVertex2f(x/8,(WorldSizey-y)/8); //Upper left
        glTexCoord2f(VertexX[2],VertexY[2]);
        glVertex2f((x+1)/8,(WorldSizey-y)/8); //Upper Right
        glTexCoord2f(VertexX[3],VertexY[3]);
        glVertex2f((x+1)/8,(WorldSizey-(y+1))/8); //Lower Right
        glEnd();
        glDisable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
    }
}

And Here's my functions which calculate the coordinates that should work to find the textures but all I'm getting is blank white squares.

All white texture can mean that there is a texture error somewhere. Do you check for GL_ERRORs ?

What is your texture filtering set to ? Do you generate mipmaps ? http://www.opengl.org/wiki/Texture#A...map_generation

Are your texcoords calculations correct ? Try a simpler case, 4 textures in one 128x128 texture, with texcoords like 0 to 0.5 and 0.5 to 1.
