But since it apparently happens to windows 7 too, I think this might be a driver problem. So it's either the windows default driver, or it's the hardware that's crappy

That leaves the question: why does this happen in 0.6.0, but not in 0.5.0?

Did we switch a lib? I don't know? I hereby summon rude.

This is probably because LÖVE 0.6.0 no longer auto-pads images to a power-of-two-sized texture.

So the problem is crappy videocards/drivers who can't handle images which are not power-of-2-sized?

Yes. But LÖVE will still work as long as you use power-of-two textures, of course. I'm sorry if this decision disappoints someone, but I think hiding the true nature of a texture is a really bad idea.

So we have to change the size of textures manually if we want it to work with crappy drivers?

Yes. The plan is also to add a function to ImageData:

Code: Select all

imgd = love.image.newImageData("evil.png")
imgd:padPowerTwo()
image = love.graphics.newImage(imdg)

That may change the width/height of the image, so you don't want to divide getWidth/getHeight by 2 to get the center of the image, for instance.

Cool. But I hope padPowerTwo will return self, so we can do:

Code: Select all

image = love.graphics.newImage(love.image.newImageData("evil.png"):padPowerTwo())

or, even better, add an argument to newImage:

Code: Select all

image = love.graphics.newImage("evil.png", "padPowerTwo") --or something, you get the idea

I dont think its that big of a deal, course I have been used to power's of 2 images for a long time and its usually a fluke if one i use is not
