Texture naming confusion

Hi all,

I just found a small bug in texture loading.
Try to load a file named : "sword.tga.png". It's originally a PNG file, but Irrlicht will recognize it as a TGA file (Unsupported TGA format).

I think the bug is that the texture extension is checked after the FIRST dot, and not before the LAST dot.

Yes, that's correct. I started to use better checks in some places, but I'll have to make it in a structured way in all places.

I think it would be also better to read files header, so you can name PNG, TGA, BMP, ... files like "MyTexture.texture" and it will be automatically loaded correctly.

Do you think it's worth your time to code that up?

The image loaders already do this. But only if the extension recognition did not work or if those tries did fail to load the image. So it seems that the tga loader indeed returns something and the other tests are not done. Maybe you could debug if it is indeed the tga loader which returns an image?
