16x16 Texture too big

[Poppit]

Hello,

I'm making a tile based game, and the Textures for the Tiles are 16x16. Whenever I try to load the Texture so it can be rendered,
I get this error:

java.io.IOException: Attempt to allocate a texture to big for the current hardware
	at org.newdawn.slick.opengl.InternalTextureLoader.getTexture(InternalTextureLoader.java:292)
	at org.newdawn.slick.opengl.InternalTextureLoader.getTexture(InternalTextureLoader.java:231)

	at main.Draw.drawMap(Draw.java:284)
	at main.Draw.render(Draw.java:324)
	at main.LaunchWindow.main(LaunchWindow.java:65)

Now, I know that my gpu can handle it because its a 1GB card.

I ran

GL11.glGetInteger(GL11.GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE)

and got 16384.

Here is the code for loading the Texture:

	public void loadTexture(String a){
		try {
			texture = TextureLoader.getTexture("PNG", ResourceLoader.getResourceAsStream(a));
			System.out.println(texture.getTextureRef());
 
		} catch (IOException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}

And the code called when it needs to be rendered:

	public void drawMap(Map b){
		Color.white.bind();
		glBegin(GL_QUADS);
 
		b.divideMap(10);
		Tile[][] t = b.makeMap(b.getK());
 
		for(int y = 0; y < b.tiles.length; y++){
			for(int x = 0; x < b.tiles[y].length; x++){
				Texture a;
				t[y][x].loadTexture(t[y][x].getLocation());
				a = t[y][x].getTexture();
				System.out.println(a.getTextureRef());
				a.bind();
				glTexCoord2f(0,0);
				glVertex2f(x,y);
				glTexCoord2f(1,0);
				glVertex2f(x + a.getWidth(), y);
				glTexCoord2f(1,1);
				glVertex2f(x + a.getWidth(), y +  a.getHeight());
				glTexCoord2f(0,1);
				glVertex2f(x, y +  a.getHeight());
			}
		}
 
		glEnd();
	}

Any help is appreciated.

I am not a Java person but I would sugest looking at the loader code - things like missing file

I am also not a Java (not with opengl at least) person but my guess would be would be that the space for the texture was never allocated correctly. Did you call glGenTexture and all that stuff (not sure what it would be in java)

Ahh All I had to do is load the textures outside of the gameloop.

@cookedbird, Yes I did
