Title: internal size too high problem loading pictures
Post by: pridefight on January 06, 2012, 07:34:01 am

this problem really drives me crazy, when i use the LoadFromFile method of the sf::Image class, i got the error: fail to load image, its internal size is too high(2048*2048).  
let me explain this more clearly, yesterday i try to load a 1500*300 image, and it's OK, then i tried to  load a a bigger pic, it failed, then i go back with the 1500*300 image, it shows the same error ,but different in that (2048,512), i really cant understand this sh*t, anybody can help me?

internal size is too high.

Maybe it means the resolution is too high / image is too big. Maybe too big for the gfx adapter ? I believe a gfx adapter has size (resolution) limits, there are tricks for this, or maybe the api has its own limits.

"internal size is too high"...is kind of broken English.

Some days ago I commited thor::BigTexture and thor::BigSprite in my library ;)

They can be used similar to sf::Texture and sf::Sprite, but cope with sizes larger than the graphics card limit. However they require SFML 2.
