First off, great tuts'.. I've learned a fair bit, cruising this board, and d/ling the tuts. But I've run into a snag. that is. quite frustrating. I though I'd get clever by converting the single file lesson23 into a multi-file project... No problems there...(which suprised me) I'm slowly moving the core OpenGL stuff into classes, to modulise the whole thing, for my project.. again no errors with doing that, Compiler or linker (yay). But when it comes to execute the code, I get the fullscreen/yes-no box (which is correct) then it drops back out to desktop. I've put in some break points and ran debugger. and it fails to load the texture files..

int RunnerGraphics::LoadGLTextures(void)                                    // Load Bitmaps And Convert To Textures

{
    int Status=false;									// Status Indicator

    AUX_RGBImageRec *TextureImage[5];					// Create Storage Space For The Textures

    memset(TextureImage,0,sizeof(void *)*5);			// Set The Pointer To NULL

    if ((TextureImage[0]=LoadBMP("Data/floor1.bmp")) &&	// Load The Floor Texture

        (TextureImage[1]=LoadBMP("Data/light1.bmp")) &&	// Load the Light Texture

        (TextureImage[2]=LoadBMP("Data/rustyblue.bmp")) &&	// Load the Wall Texture

        (TextureImage[3]=LoadBMP("Data/crate.bmp")) &&	// Load the Crate Texture

        (TextureImage[4]=LoadBMP("Data/weirdbrick.bmp")))	// Load the Ceiling Texture

	{   
		Status=true;									// Set The Status To true

		glGenTextures(5, &texture[0]);					// Create The Texture

		for (int loop1=0; loop1<5; loop1++)				// Loop Through 5 Textures

		{
			glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture[loop1]);
			glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, 3, TextureImage[loop1]->sizeX, TextureImage[loop1]->sizeY, 0, GL_RGB, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, TextureImage[loop1]->data);
			glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER,GL_LINEAR);
			glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER,GL_LINEAR);
		}
		for (loop1=0; loop1<5; loop1++)					// Loop Through 5 Textures

		{
			if (TextureImage[loop1])					// If Texture Exists

			{
				if (TextureImage[loop1]->data)			// If Texture Image Exists

				{
					free(TextureImage[loop1]->data);	// Free The Texture Image Memory

				}
				free(TextureImage[loop1]);				// Free The Image Structure 

			}
		}
	}
	return Status;										// Return The Status

}


   
AUX_RGBImageRec *LoadBMP(char *Filename)                // Loads A Bitmap Image

{
        FILE *File=NULL;                                // File Handle

		
        if (!Filename)                                  // Make Sure A Filename Was Given

        {
                return NULL;                            // If Not Return NULL

        }
	
		
		File=fopen(Filename,"r");                       // Check To See If The File Exists

		
/* ******GRRRRR fails here**** */        if (File)                                       // Does The File Exist?

        {
               fclose(File);                           // Close The Handle

                return auxDIBImageLoad(Filename);       // Load The Bitmap And Return A Pointer

        }
	LogWrite("Hello silly me .. ErrorLoading file :%s ,Stream %d",Filename, File);
        return NULL;      		// If Load Failed Return NULL

		  
}

when I trace through, it fails on the "if(File)" section above. which in turn causes the first IF in the first function fail. I've checked the files for typos, check for correct directory location, even checked to see in I had rights to access them. I even tried changing the "if(File)" to " if(!File)" just to see where the code ends up.. it broke, another call later on didn't like being supplied NULL textures or something..which didn't surprise me.. Has anyone else come across this type of error, playing around with lesson23 (which isn't on nehe anymore Using vc71....and XP, modifed code to work with Directinput8. /me pulls out more hair.....Arggghhhh [edited by - WhytWulf on July 16, 2003 7:37:43 PM]

Problem solved.. I don''t know how, I don''t know why, but it appeared that, because DirectInput failed to init, it caused the image loader to fail... Again, I have no idea what the F&^&% happened.

Here is my direct input init function (working version) for those who want it.

BOOL WINAPI DI_Init() {     HRESULT hr;     // Create the DirectInput object.     hr = DirectInput8Create(hInstance, DIRECTINPUT_VERSION,                             IID_IDirectInput8, (void**)&g_DI, NULL);     if FAILED(hr) return FALSE;     // Retrieve a pointer to an IDirectInputDevice8 interface     hr = g_DI->CreateDevice(GUID_SysKeyboard, &g_KDIDev, NULL);     if FAILED(hr)     {        // DI_Term();         return FALSE;     }     // Now that you have an IDirectInputDevice8 interface, get     // it ready to use.     // Set the data format using the predefined keyboard data     // format provided by the DirectInput object for keyboards.     hr = g_KDIDev->SetDataFormat(&c_dfDIKeyboard);     if FAILED(hr)     {         //DI_Term();         return FALSE;     }     // Set the cooperative level     hr = g_KDIDev->SetCooperativeLevel(hWnd,                              DISCL_FOREGROUND | DISCL_NONEXCLUSIVE);     if FAILED(hr)     {       //  DI_Term();         return FALSE;     }     // Get access to the input device.     hr = g_KDIDev->Acquire();     if FAILED(hr)     {        // DI_Term();         return FALSE;     }     return TRUE; }

now I just have to get my damn key presses working..
