BMP file problem

My opengl program loads BMP's like such:


//Makes the image into a texture, and returns the id of the texture
GLuint loadTexture(Image* image) {
GLuint textureId;
glGenTextures(1, &textureId);
 
//Make room for our texture
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, textureId);
 
//Tell OpenGL which texture to edit
 
 
//Map the image to the texture
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D,
 
//Always GL_TEXTURE_2D
0,
 
//0 for now
GL_RGB,
 
//Format OpenGL uses for image
image->width, image->height,
 
//Width and height
0,
 
//The border of the image
GL_RGB,
 
//GL_RGB, because pixels are stored in RGB format
GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE,
 
//GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, because pixels are stored
 
 
//as unsigned numbers
image->pixels);
 
//The actual pixel data
 
 
return textureId; //Returns the id of the texture
}
 

with assistance from the imageloader.cpp&.h files:

I get the error: "Can't load windows V4 bitmaps" when i load this image:

j74u8o.jpg

But it works PERFECTLY when i load this image->

wvsxvq.jpg

Why can't i load the 1st image? Both images are 256x256, 24bit and BMP files.

You have the error message and you have the code, so see the code where the error message comes from, and then look back in the code to see why the code gets to that point.

there are multiple .bmp formats, and your first image is a funky microsoft one, whereas the second one is a standard 24 bpp bitmap... this is what you can expect from extracting random images from random places.. open the first one in an image editing program (that is NOT Windows Paint) and re-save it as a standard 24-bit bitmap (that means no RLE or anything else funky)... your image loading code relies on the bitmap being stored as essentially raw pixel data.

@Brother Bob, i can see the error is because "headersize==108", but i know nothing about the structure of .BMP files.

@radioteeth, i tried to save the first image through Gimp 2.0->export->windows BMP->24 bitmap, but with no luck.

did you check 'do not write colorspace information' in the compatibility options dropdown while exporting? it falls under the "anything else funky" category I mentioned above.

edit: to clarify, writing colorspace information is funky, so make sure it's checked this time.

Initially i had it unchecked(by default) and got the error. Now i tried to export with it checked, but it gave me the same error, unfortunately.

Use an image loading library (such as DevIL) to avoid these esoteric problems of hand rolling your own.

The problem with other image loading libraries is they hard to setup and often never have a clear tutorial on how to use them. I tried to setup DevIL a few days ago and multiple problems occured.

What's a more productive use of your time: learning to use a library that can effortlessly load and save images in (for all intents and purposes) any format you desire or trying to fix tedious problems in a custom BMP loader? DevIL can even do the heavy lifting for OpenGL texture creation for you.

http://openil.sourceforge.net/tuts/tut_1/index.htm

All i need is to know how to get the images in the .BMP loader's specification.

Im sorry, but i can't follow your linked tutorial because it is 11 years old and deprecated.
