Hello!
I'm trying to "update" my code from the old c libraries to the new c++ ones.
I have a loader class for 3ds files, and since I made the switch, nothing works anymore (I still have a backup don't worry ;).
3DS files are organised in unsigned short chunks, and the first one
(at the very beginning of the file) should always be the MAIN_CHUNK (0x4D4D).
But now the first thing read is 13103 (0x332F), so it must be that I am using ifstream badly.
first of all, I open the file like this :
m_File.open(filename,std::ios::in | std::ios::binary);
I chek if the file is_open() and it is, no problem there.
The next thing I do is to position the file pointer at the beginning, even if that should already be the case :
m_File.seekg(std::ios::beg);
Then I chek if the file is good() and it is.
I read the chunk header like this (the fread way is commented):
BGL::CBGL3dsLoader::SChunkHeader BGL::CBGL3dsLoader::ReadHeader()
{
unsigned short usiChunkID;
unsigned long uiChunkLength;
//fread(&usiChunkID, 2, 1, m_File); //Read the header
//fread(&uiChunkLength, 4, 1, m_File); //Read the lenght
m_File >> usiChunkID;
m_File >> uiChunkLength;
return SChunkHeader(usiChunkID,uiChunkLength);
}
But then, the fread way and the ifstream >> way doesnt give the same results!
Im I doing something wrong?
