irrlicht Image Quality

I'm having some interesting result w/ using Irrlicht and images. The quality of the image seems worse then the image itself. is anyone else having these problems, i'm using OpenGL, a bmp image, and no irrlicht modifications.

Screenshots are @ www.geocities.com/centaurforce in the shots section

Did you try the suggestions off of the other image quality problem posts like making sure your texture is base2 as well as apply the 32 bit image loading change?

Just did the loading change, and there's no visible difference. The image is 600 by 200, and is not scaled at all

Ok, there is your problem, 600x200 isnt base 2. Base 2 is like 2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256, etc etc etc. Base 2 means power of 2. Since your image is 3/1 ratio, it doesnt make it easy to reduce to a power of 2 equaly, but try something like 512x128 and see what happens.

That looks 110% better now, thanks
