Sprites appear white in Mac OS X
« on: October 30, 2009, 07:27:18 pm »
For my final project in C++ class, I'm making a TDS using SFML. However, on my mac, sprites show up white.





It's the same code and same images on both machines. I'm using SFML 1.5[/img]

I suppose you are using SFML 1.5, where images cannot but loaded before a window has been made (on Mac OS X) ; and I guess that's your issue. This is because there is a bug that prevents the shared OpenGL context from being activated.

Thus you have two choices :
 - build the SFML frameworks from the sources of the Subversion repository sources
 - make sure you don't load any image before making a window

By the way you should have seen a message in your console explaining the image could not be loaded (size too high or something like that).
Want to play movies in your SFML application? Check out sfeMovie!

Oh... thanks :D

edit:
I tried opening the console before I made this post, but my computer froze whenever I open it
