I would be happy to see, if the LoadImage() and related commands would support loading of JPG pictures.

JPG is the most important gfx format (maybe also PNG, IFF,...) for loading multimedia stuff (landscapes, ...) The now supported BMP files are much to large for using much of them...

Hi Andre!

You are sure, BMP are big files but BMP is for easy handling, esp for 3d stuff.. Chunky...

I hope that a PNG, JPG supported lib will standalone, else we have big programs including all kind of graphic formats...

Yes you're right!

JPG should be an additional lib. I would need the jpg feature a lot more than BMP. And all game writers would prefer BMP...

Hm??? I dont understand your wished!?!?!?!?!?

Why dont you use the still supported command:

Result = CatchJPEGSprite(#Sprite, MemoryAddress, JPEGLength, Mode)

The only thing you have to do is to alocate some memory, load the JPG in it and decode it with the above command.

Does it not work?

That would be cool. In the meantime, you can use the DLL libary at the PureBasic
Resources site to load them, and many other image formats.

Games already support JPG decoding.. LoadJPGSprite() etc.

Hi Fred!

Nice to have the JPEG decoding support... But i still miss this stuff for sound, graphics, sprites... Would be nice to the some commands like the following in the next version of PB

DecodeSound(#Sprite,?Label)
DecodeSprite(#Sprite,?Label)

Or give us please an example source, how to decode included stuff and use it (maybe a procedure with inline asm)...

I already need those stuff... Keep on ya work...

Use my Xtraxt-utility to include everything into one file.Its free for use.
And it doesent matter if a bmp is a MByte file coz its compressing into a few Kbytes only.

Back to the topic.. i would appreciate direct JPEG-Loading, because i need the decoded JPEGs as bitmaps for BitBlit and StretchBlit Operations via Win32 API. With JPEG-Sprites i can't do that.

Loading JPEGS with the DLL Library and NViewLib.dll gives me some errors because the unusual dimensions of the Jpegs (1440 x 480)

So i'm in trouble now...
