md2 loader problem
Author
Hi all, I'm making a 3D game, where I want animations with MD2 files. I've found a loader I'm using, but I have a problem, because it's not loading values correctly. This is the code I'm using for loading the header values from the file:
and here's the output (for the first 10 values):
1229213746
134217728
65536
65536
-1677328384
0
-1660878848
755105792
402849792
470745088
I really don't know what's wrong, does anybody now what I possibly could be doing wrong? I know the MD2 file is valid, because it loads into Blender and it came with the MD2 example.

Could you please post some more code? Especially the ReadInt function?
And please use the source-tags ( [ source ] and [ /source ], without the spaces).

Here's the ReadInt function:
And the MD2SwapInt function:
And the code to open the file
Just tell me if more code is needed, can't post it all though because it's a quite long code... The problem in the code should be somewhere in the posted code.
int MD2Model::ReadInt(FILE *filePtr){ int value = 0; fread(&value, sizeof(int), 1, filePtr); #if MD2_BYTEORDER == MD2_BIG_ENDIAN value = MD2SwapInt(value); #endif return value;}And the MD2SwapInt function:
static __inline__ Uint32 MD2SwapInt(Uint32 D){ return((D<<24)|((D<<8)&0x00FF0000)|((D>>8)&0x0000FF00)|(D>>24));}And the code to open the file
filePtr = fopen(modelFile.c_str(), "rb");if (filePtr == NULL){ return false;}fseek(filePtr, 0, SEEK_END);fileLength = ftell(filePtr);// Extract model file header from bufferReadHeader(filePtr, header);Just tell me if more code is needed, can't post it all though because it's a quite long code... The problem in the code should be somewhere in the posted code.
Why not open the file in a hex editor (Visual Studio can open a file as hex too), and see what the bytes are? The first two values look correct ("IDP0" and 0x00000008), the next two look like they're correct (Your texture is 256x256?), and then the rest seems to be gibberish.
Does MD2_BYTEORDER == MD2_BIG_ENDIAN? I.e. is your MD2SwapInt() function being called? What if you disable that call, does it look right then?
Overall, it looks like you're swapping endian when you shouldn't. On a PC, you shouldn't need to swap the endian at all.

That did it :D Actually I made it swap, and it worked. This is the code for swapping/not swapping:
When I removed the #if MD2_BYTEORDER == MD2_BIG_ENDIAN code, it loaded the correct values. Is LIL and BIG endian just getting swapped or what? :P
#if defined(__i386__) || defined(__ia64__) || defined(WIN32) || (defined(__alpha__) || defined(__alpha)) || defined(__arm__) || (defined(__mips__) && defined(__MIPSEL__)) || defined(__SYMBIAN32__) || defined(__x86_64__) || defined(__LITTLE_ENDIAN__) #define MD2_BYTEORDER MD2_LIL_ENDIAN#else #define MD2_BYTEORDER MD2_BIG_ENDIAN#endifWhen I removed the #if MD2_BYTEORDER == MD2_BIG_ENDIAN code, it loaded the correct values.
