Title: 2.6.2 to 3.0 loadFromImage
Post by: HeinzK on January 24, 2025, 10:09:15 am

V2:
sf::Texture *pTextureX = new sf::Texture;
pTextureX->loadFromImage(*pTxu->pImage, *pIntRectTextureX);
V3:
sf::Texture *pTextureX = new sf::Texture;
pTextureX->loadFromImage(*pTxu->pImage, bRGB, *pIntRectTextureX);
.. bRGB (true or false) .. what's right for me?

Unless you use sRGB you want it to eb set to false, which is also the default value if you don't pass in an area, see the API documentation (https://www.sfml-dev.org/documentation/3.0.0/classsf_1_1Texture.html#a9d6d90f015446eecb9a1e4cef8dc17b1).

I highly recommend to either use stack variables or at least smart pointers (e.g. std::unique_ptr + std::make_unique) instead of doing manual memory management with new.
