This really puts a dampening on the learning if I cant even load a texture in without an error. The code posted here is from a tutorial over at the blitzmax wiki... Everything else goes ok, just this texfrompixmap command errors out. The texture is a 256x256 png

Hanging out in the opengl programming forum will be a complete waste of time as the previous post is 23 hours old, and down from that, 3 days, 1 week, and so on.... I need an answer asap to continue the learning otherwise I am at a complete standstill....

Please assist!

Did you run it? Did it work for you?

The reason I am so buggered on this is because I can't really sit and learn how to do proper 3D opengl in Blitzmax if I can't even load a texture.. A world without textures is rather boring... And I dont want to move on to more advanced topics since they involve textures as well...

Thanks for the reply, but I am still just as frustrated, and still discouraged over this...

I can run opengl windows just fine. I can get through all the NEHE tutorials that dont require textures.. But this GLTexFromPixmap is just killing me here...

Any other info?

I have run games in opengl on this machine many-a-time. Nothing has changed on the machine since then... I can run opengl apps with blitzmax fine, I can see polygons, i can see colors, I can do anything BUT use the GLTexFromPixmap function!

Your version doesn't, my version does (if I comment out the SetGraphics() command, I get the 'Unable to calculate tex size' error).

That picture isn't showing the code I posted!

Also, isn't BGL_DEPTHBUFFER throwing an error for you?
It does for me.

I just pasted your code in (the entire thing just to say to myself that I tried it your way), and I get the same error.
That picture isn't showing the code I posted!

Because your code states "'above 3 line can be replaced with : GLGraphics 640,480,0,60, GRAPHICS_BACKBUFFER | GRAPHICS_DEPTHBUFFER
'...aparently :o)", so i figured I would try it that way as well.

Also, isn't BGL_DEPTHBUFFER throwing an error for you?
It does for me.


Oddly enough, it isnt throwing an error. In fact, I can run all the stuff without textures with it (strange). I am running 1.14 and did a fresh synmods before I started this thread.

Seems either your Blitzmax is different than mine, or there is some other issue.

At least the nehe tutorials work (with the minor modifications for the new glgraphics and what not). So I can continue on the lessons. But it still leaves me to wonder if it will work the same at home as well (I am at work currently). This is somewhat disturbing.

It will if you put Strict at the top of your code.

With Strict you should get a message that BGL_DEPTHBUFFER is not found.
Without Strict a new variable named BGL_DEPTHBUFFER will be created and given a value of 0.

With

Using the code from your original post, works fine here.

You mean

from:

@ First Post

You are Creating a graphic Object but not selecting it
Change second line to

SetGraphic (CreateGraphics( 640,480,0,60,GRAPHICS_BACKBUFFER | BGL_DEPTHBUFFER ))

ImaginaryHuman
 #26
Or just use GLGRaphics() by itself.

Also I seem to remember that the "unable to calculate texture size" error has something to do with the screen not being opened or not being supported by your hardware, more than anything whatsoever actually to do with textures.

H&K
 #27
Its An error in GLAdjustTexSize called by GLTexFromPixmap.

I Agree that Saying use GLGraphics is a good answer, but that wouldnt explain what Dark had done wrong, which was that they were createing a graphic object, and not setting it as the one to use

LOL. Ok maybe
But I did honsetly mean my post to be for anyone else who was getting the error and not just dark.
It is an easy thing to do, (well I have done it at least twice). And the error message never points to where you havent rememberd to select the graphics object you have created;(

And the error "Unable to calculate tex size", doesnt give much clue to the fact you made the misstake in the first 3 lines of code.

I honestly cut GLAdjustTexSize and GLTexFromPixmap from the source and put it in my program adding loads of console prints all over the place.

It was only after I had given up on trying to call it that I got an error message that led me to realise my mistake.
