Display 24-bit image???

[Jolly Joker]

I add a picture using this code:

Code: Select all

device.GUIEnvironment.AddImage(device.VideoDriver.GetTexture("media/bg.png"), new Position2D(0, 0), false, null, -1, "");

and this is what I receive:

This is how the original picture looks like:


Note: I run the device in 32-bit mode, but the picture seems to be displayed only in 16-bit

How can I fix this?

Maybe you can save it as 32-bit? 24bit is really not recommended as hardware support is random and sometimes limited.

Thanks for your quick reply Let me try saving the picture in 32-bit mode

Edit: Well it doesn't even display the picture

For a start you want to have the image in dimensions of 2^n (eg 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512 etc) otherwise the picture gets distorted a bit. Not sure if that's what is causing your problem but it's something to bear in mind and possibly try out.

Did you try D3D and OpenGL driver? which version of Irrlicht are you using? Maybe you can upload the two png files for me to check. I thought that PNG was properly supported now.

I forgot to tell that the dimensions are not changed, 2 images that I uploaded are just parts of the picture The problem is the image is 24-bit but rendered like 16-bit.

@Hybrid: I use Software renderer. If I switch to OpenGL or D3D the image displays well without problem. But this is the background image for a menu, in this menu, user will choose which driver to use That's why I need a solution for software renderer

[JP]

I think that's just what you get with the software renderer. It's crap

[hybrid]

The software renderer is fixed 16bit, you can use the burning video renderer which is 32bit capable and does not require hardware support.
