loading map and rendering to the screen???

**werdy666** · 10-20-2002

hi,

i have been having major problems trying to render my little map to my screen using opengl. it appears to read in ok but i am no expert at loading binary files. it renders something completely different to what i expect. its just gibberish, when it should have an A in the top right corner, and a 7 in the bottom right corner.

If someone could have a look through my loading map routine and rendering routine to tell me where i am going wrong i would greatly appreciate it!

If you open your *.map file in a text editor you will see there is nothing but null characters in it.

actually in my hex editor i see alot of 00's and 01's!

What I meant was there is not any usable data in the file unless that is what was meant to be in the file.

yeah all it is is to determine which texture to use in which spot. So for example if its 0 its black, and if its 1 its blue etc etc
