I wrote a BMP loader that was DDraw intependant. I then had a char * to DDSurface function that did the specific changes. The only problems that I ever had were when the bitmaps width where not to the base 2 (ie were not 16,32,64,128 etc). When that happened there where some impossibly strange Skewing problems that seemed to defy logic.
Has somebody had this problem, because no amount of hacking code has ever gotten me closer to figuring out why this happens.
It''s a rather simple problem. Not always that evident if you don''t know about it, but very easy to solve. To put it straight, all scanlines in the bitmap are dword aligned. End of story, problem fixed
"This album was written, recorded and edited at Gröndal, Stockholm in the year of 2000. At this point in time money still ruled the world. Capitalistic thoughts were wide spread. From the sky filled with the fumes of a billionarie''s cigar to the deepest abyss drenched in nuclear waste. A rich kid was a happy kid, oh..dirty, filthy times. Let this be a reminder."
