i made my own bitmap loader to load in a height map. im not using any API calls im doing it from scratch with fread()''s when i load in the bitmap, it looks as though fread is adding 0''s to the bitmap in weird places. my test bitmap is has only one color on it (r=150, g=150, b=150). when i output all of the data to a file, it should look like this: (assume that each line is a new pixel, the first column is for red, the next green and the next blue): 150 150 150 150 150 150 150 150 150 150 150 150 150 150 150 150 150 150 150 150 150 but it doesn''t it looks like this: 150 150 150 150 150 150 150 150 150 150 150 150 150 150 150 150 150 150 150 150 150 0 0 150 i have no idea where these 0''s are coming from. I am using fread to load the data straight out of the bmp file and the outputting it on the next line and these zeros that always seem to be traveling in pairs of two are coming out of no where. Again my test bitmap has only one color on it, so these are not supposed to be there. The bitmaps color format is R8B8G8. here is the code:

	int			x, y;
	V3DCOLOR	Color;
	FILE		*File = fopen(filename, "rb");

	fread(&BitmapType,			sizeof(BitmapType),			1, File);
	fread(&BitmapFileSize,		sizeof(BitmapFileSize),		1, File);
	fread(&BitmapReserved1,		sizeof(BitmapReserved1),	1, File);
	fread(&BitmapReserved2,		sizeof(BitmapReserved2),	1, File);
	fread(&BitmapOffBits,		sizeof(BitmapOffBits),		1, File);

	fread(&BitmapSize,			sizeof(BitmapSize),			1, File);
	fread(&BitmapWidth,			sizeof(BitmapWidth),		1, File);
	fread(&BitmapHeight,		sizeof(BitmapHeight),		1, File);
	fread(&BitmapPlanes,		sizeof(BitmapPlanes),		1, File);
	fread(&BitmapBitCount,		sizeof(BitmapBitCount),		1, File);
	fread(&BitmapCompression,	sizeof(BitmapCompression),	1, File);
	fread(&BitmapSizeImage,		sizeof(BitmapSizeImage),	1, File);
	fread(&BitmapXPelsPerMeter, sizeof(BitmapXPelsPerMeter),1, File);
	fread(&BitmapYPelsPerMeter, sizeof(BitmapYPelsPerMeter),1, File);
	fread(&BitmapClrUsed,		sizeof(BitmapClrUsed),		1, File);
	fread(&BitmapClrImportant,	sizeof(BitmapClrImportant), 1, File);

	BitmapData = new V3DCOLOR[BitmapWidth * BitmapHeight];

	if (!BitmapData) 
		return false;


	for (x = 0; x < BitmapWidth; x++) {
		for (y = 0; y < BitmapHeight; y++) {
			
			fread(&Color, sizeof(Color), 1, File);
			
			BitmapData[y + x * BitmapWidth].r = Color.r;
			BitmapData[y + x * BitmapWidth].g = Color.g;
			BitmapData[y + x * BitmapWidth].b = Color.b;		
		}
	}

	fclose(File);


 

right after that final fread

fread(&Color, sizeof(Color), 1, File);

 

i added a line that would output what came from it and it was the 150''s polluted with 0''s anybody know ?

hehehe
nice worked

dont need your bmp loader mine works good now thanks
