Software documentation is like sex. If it's good you want more. If it's bad it's better than nothing.

plus, you can have 30 NULL drivers and 1 normal one, without any problems right?

What about repairing your CapsLock-Key ?? :wink:

And what about reading and understanding the answers already given ??

It really seems that you're using NPOT-Textures (Non-Power-of-Two). The software rasterizer doesn't care about that, but depending on your graphics card (the most doesn't support NPOT) your texture will be scaled to fit in a power of two (ie 512x512 px).

And now please stop pushing this thread !!

Dude... what don't you understand??

If you're using textures which don't have power of two dimensions (e.g. 32x32, 512x256 etc.) then you're going to get bad quality textures on most graphics cards...

So the answer is to use textures with dimensions that are a power of two!

No, not for what you want.

You can create the device with a null driver (instead of DX, OGL etc.) but then anything you load will be loaded into that device and not available to any subsequent devices you load.

Why do you need to do the loading screen without irrlicht?

Ok here is the answer in simple plain english NO YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE DRIVER TYPE AFTER YOU CREATED A DEVICE!
