TGA files - upside down?!

I've recently implemented .TGA loading into an app I'm making and got some odd results.

I loaded in 3 .TGA files; when displayed two of them appeared upside down, but the other was fine.

All 3 were perfectly valid and correctly orientated in other apps that can view .TGA.

Is there a problem with the TGA Loader module?

I know .TGA isn't that popular, but it's something I want to keep in in my app. I've got a flip h/v option anyway, so it doesn't really matter, but I've found no mention of this elsewhere. Is this a bug?

I know sometimes there is some vertical flipping of pixmaps going on behind the scenes, possibly if the pixmap has to be resized or its format changed?

You can try patching BRL.TGALoader with this:

		'
		' Flip Horizontal
		If (hdr.attbits & $10) = False
			pixmap = XFlipPixmap(pixmap)
		EndIf
		'
		' Flip Vertical
		If (hdr.attbits & $20) 
			pixmap = YFlipPixmap(pixmap)
		EndIf

Insert at line 214, just before the return pixmap statement...

It may or may not work :)

Cheers chaps

I won't need to patch (this time), as I've got flipping in the app anyway, so that the user can modify the background, but it was just something that came up unexpectedly.
