Getting "Invalid Operation" on glTexStorage2D

OpenGL OpenGL: Basic Coding
1

Hey everyone,

I’m attempting to apply textures in OpenGL. The problem is that this line:

   
glTexStorage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RED, 4, 4);
printf("Err at glTextStorage2D: %d
", glGetError());

Returns error code 1282, invalid operation. I read on the wiki that a beginners mistake is to set the “levels” to 0, but I’m not at all interested in using mipmaps. Therefore, I attempted to change the texture parameters to disable mipmapping like this:

    
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0);
printf("Err: %d
", glGetError());
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, textureHandle);
printf("Err: %d
", glGetError());

glTexParameterf(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);
glTexParameterf(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);

glTexStorage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RED, 4, 4);
printf("Err at glTextStorage2D: %d
", glGetError());

Still, when I get to “glTexStorage2D”, I get the same error code 1282. Does anyone know what’s going on here?

Thank you all for your help :slight_smile:

Ok, but the wiki also says in that case you should set levels to 1, because:

From glTexStorage2D:

GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if width or levels are less than 1.

You need at least the base level, otherwise there is no space for any texels.

heh, I feel kind of silly now. This worked :slight_smile: Sorry for that, but thank you for the help!

GL_RED shouldn’t be valid either. This function is only supposed to accept sized internalformats.

Absolutely correct, I had to change it to GL_RGB :slight_smile:

That’s not a sized internal format either. Unless you meant GL_RGB8, and the forum merged your 8 with some punctuation to turn it into a smilie.

Yes I meant to say GL_RGB8 :slight_smile: I think the forum did some weird conversion with smileys, you are correct.
