I am working with a 16bit texture stored in a specified file format. The pixels are stored one by one, not compressed. The bit assign is 5-5-5-1. but when I use glTexImage2D(), there is always an error.
Here is my source:
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0 GL_RGB5_A1, 256, 256, 0, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, data);
An illegal operaion error occur when this function runs.
I am not sure about the format and type parameter, should I set the type to GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT? I have tried, but the error remains.
Mycode works when operating 24b and 32bit texture with component set to 3 or 4.
I am using VC6.0, and the opengl library with this version of VC.
Can anyone help me?
The first thing you should look at is how you are allocating the memory for your data. One of the biggest causes of exception errors stems from trying to read/write memory that has not been properly allocated.
