BMP loading in 'OpenGL Game Programming'
Author
I don''t really know much about these things, but I do know that the BMP loading example from the book called OpenGL Game Programming doesn''t work with the OpenGL basecode from NeHe.
It just doesn''t show the BMP file.
After playing around with it for about an hour and getting frustrated, I couldn''t find the problem.
So has someone been able to use the BMP loading example from the book with NeHe''s basecode?
I think I remember to running into this problem a while back. I''m not in front of my programming comp right now, so I can''t test what I''m getting ready to say, so take it with a grain of salt. When I tried to use the BMP''s that NeHe posted, they wouldn''t work. I had to open the images in a paint program (I used Paint Shop Pro) and change the color depth and then change it back and resave it. If I didn''t do this, the images just showed up as blank. Hope this helps!

I wrote my own function, I hope it helps.
BTW, it loads only 8bpp, uncompressed BMPs.
