bitmap sizes

doesn''t happen to me..
whats your bitmap loading code?

I am using very small bitmaps and my code also loads correctly. Altough I havent tried to load anything smaller than 8x8 or maybe 16x16 I shouldnt why it would not work. I think the problem might be with your code.

Well I figured that. I also thought it was most likely abnormal, but figured I''d check since I''m still farily new to DirectX. I don''t use bitmaps smaller than 8x8 either, but when I realized that the larger bitmaps were fine, but smaller ones weren''t, I just resized them to smaller to see if it happened there too. Uh.. lets see, here''s my bitmap loader:

int Load_Bitmap(BITMAP_FILE_PTR bitmap, char *filename)
{
   int file_handle;
   int index;
   UCHAR *temp_buffer = NULL;
   OFSTRUCT file_data;

   if ((file_handle = OpenFile(filename,&file_data,OF_READ)) == -1) {
      return(0);
   }

   _lread(file_handle,&bitmap->header,sizeof(BITMAPFILEHEADER));

   if (bitmap->header.bfType != BITMAP_ID) {
      _lclose(file_handle);
      return(0);
   }

   _lread(file_handle,&bitmap->info,sizeof(BITMAPINFOHEADER));

   if(bitmap->info.biBitCount == 8) {
      _lread(file_handle,&bitmap->palette,MAX_COLORS_PALETTE*sizeof(PALETTEENTRY));

      for(index = 0; index < MAX_COLORS_PALETTE; index++) {
         int temp_color = bitmap->palette[index].peRed;
         bitmap->palette[index].peRed = bitmap->palette[index].peBlue;
         bitmap->palette[index].peBlue = temp_color;

         bitmap->palette[index].peFlags = PC_NOCOLLAPSE;
      }
   }

   _lseek(file_handle,-(int)(bitmap->info.biSizeImage),SEEK_END);

   if(bitmap->info.biBitCount == 8 || bitmap->info.biBitCount == 16 || bitmap->info.biBitCount == 24) {
      if(bitmap->buffer)
         free(bitmap->buffer);

      if(!(bitmap->buffer = (UCHAR *)malloc(bitmap->info.biSizeImage))) {
         _lclose(file_handle);
         return(0);
      }

      _lread(file_handle,bitmap->buffer,bitmap->info.biSizeImage);
   }
   else {
      return(0);
   }

   _lclose(file_handle);

   Flip_Bitmap(bitmap->buffer,bitmap->info.biWidth*(bitmap->info.biBitCount/8),bitmap->info.biHeight);

   return(1);
}

int Flip_Bitmap(UCHAR *image, int bytes_per_line, int height)
{
   UCHAR *buffer;
   int index;

   if (!(buffer = (UCHAR *)malloc(bytes_per_line*height)))
      return(0);

   memcpy(buffer,image,bytes_per_line*height);

   for (index=0; index < height; index++)
      memcpy(ℑ[((height-1) - index)*bytes_per_line], &buffer[index*bytes_per_line], bytes_per_line);

   free(buffer);

   return(1);
}
 

I pretty much just copied that out of a book. Could it be my conversion function to convert from 24bit to 16bit?

um.. please?
