Title: [SOLVED] Failed to create texture, internal size too big
Post by: Debonair on February 19, 2015, 06:11:13 pm

Greetings.
Started learning to use SFML, took a while to set up libraries and whatnot but it works. Now, the first image I want to display gives me this error, and it can't be the size because it's 32x32 px. It's a jpg.
This is the bit of code that handles the texture:

Code: [Select]

    sf::Texture texture;
    if (!texture.loadFromFile("texture.jpg", sf::IntRect(100, 100, 32, 32)))
{
    // error...
}

What am I doing wrong?

Is your graphics driver up-to-date?

Yeah.
And on a sidenote, the program thinks the image is 4294967228x4294967228 pixels big.

Have you tried it with another image?

Or you could upload the image?

I did try, gives the same error, except the number it says is different.

Programs don't think. So where did you get these values from?

From the debug console.

OS? GPU? SFML version? Compiler?

Can you run any of the SFML examples?

Windows 7
ATI card
SFML 2.2
CodeBlocks - GNU/GCC Compiler

Can't tell you about the examples as of now, since it looks like CodeBlocks forgot the library linking settings, so I have to redo the whole thing.

The precompiled examples are provided in the SDK. You just have to run them.

I know. I just had to redo the library linking, which I did now. Used normal instead of static this time, all examples run fine except ftp, sockets, and voip. And shader also compiles but then freezes at the start, I assume that's not what it was meant to do.

Case solved. Looks like the code was wrong in the first place, even though it compiled. Creating it as a sprite worked, and it displays the image without issues.

Code: [Select]

    sf::Texture texture;
    texture.loadFromFile("texture.jpg");
    sf::Sprite sprite;
    sprite.setTexture(texture);
    sprite.setTextureRect(sf::IntRect(0, 0, 32, 32));
    sprite.setPosition(100, 25);
    window.draw(sprite);

Thanks for the help, guys.
