I am transferring my texture manager from GL to D3D9 and I ran into a problem using the D3DXCreateTextureFromFileEx function. I do everything correct, but the returned Texture9 interface is not valid, so I cant use it. I retrieve everything from the file, width,height, format, using the 0 value (or D3DX_DEFAULT). What might the problem be? I am using a 24bit BMP. I will try to use jpeg too.

No, jpeg isnt working either. The returned interface isnt valid.

but here is my code:

if (!D3DXCreateTextureFromFileEx(dev, tex.strFilename, 0, 0, 0, 0, D3DFMT_UNKNOWN,
D3DPOOL_DEFAULT, D3DX_FILTER_LINEAR, bMipmapped? D3DX_FILTER_LINEAR : D3DX_FILTER_POINT,
0,NULL,NULL, &tex.pTexture))
return false;

sorry if it messed up by html.

You cannot test for a successful function call by using:

if(!D3DXCreateTextureFromFileEx....

This is because the function returns zero (D3D_OK == S_OK == 0x00000000L) if the function call is *successful*. So even if your function was succeeding you would always be returning false.

Try something like...

if(FAILED(D3DXCreateTextureFromFileEx...

This should hopefully work.
