Hi all ! Since some have asked for this, I'm just releasing a limited TEXTURE LOADING pack for the LWJGL.org forum here.
there are at most 3 java classes files.
Sf3Texture._loadTexture(BufferedImage, 0);
Loads a texture in a DataBuffer and
validatePixelBuffer();
converts the DataBuffer to any format you want : specify a GL Texture format as _ExtAbgr value and you're on (hopefully) !
Sf3Texture is HIGHLY INSPIRED BY DevIL TextureLoader class I've been found on the web last year. LoL
:D
EDIT : RFE posted with new zip package http://lwjgl.org/forum/index.php/topic,4181.0.html
Hi !
updated the link with a new zip, because of the last crash with the webservers, it was broken.
;D
EDIT : updated the BufferIO, for re-using of direct buffers (not a big deal =)
awesome, what image formats are supported? what features are supported (scaling, cropping, etc.)?
That's supposed to be any by ImageIO.read(f) supported image formats...
Cool, I can make good use of that. My own texture loading routine is not as performant as it could be as I had problems with some PNGs. On my computer they would show up normal and on a friends computer they looked bluish. If I changed from RGB to BGR it looked ok for my friend but blueish on my machine ^ ^ Therefore I always copy the complete image into another temporary BufferedImage, which makes my texture loading about twice expensive as it should be ::)
How about including this officially into LWJGL? Maybe not into the core but as optional extension. I see two main reasons for that:
- If these would be official classes they would receive the same treatment as any other LWJGL class when making changes to LWJGL (otherwise a future LWJGL version could make the classes incompatible)
- Pretty much every game developer needs the ability to load textures. If you program it yourself you might not end up with a solution that is as performant as it could be (see my example above)

The recommended way is actually Slick-Util (can also load fonts and sounds/music):
http://slick.cokeandcode.com/wiki/doku.php?id=loading_and_binding_opengl_textures_with_slick-util
http://slick.cokeandcode.com/downloads/util/
http://slick.cokeandcode.com/javadoc-util/
I completely agree that it would be nice to have LWJGL already include image/music loading. It does have built-in wave loading. However, I'd rather it not use ImageIO (which Slick-Util and most image libraries out there use)...
I've never been using slick, because I've got good performance with my code.
@jeditofu I also have coded a Sound loading class, which I could provide here. It relies on the same BufferIO class, and has some calls to the jlayer API when handling mp3's. I'll look for an upload soon.
@mstWeal thank you for your feedback, you're welcome ! You may want to post your comment on sf.net/projects/sf3jswing for rating (http://sourceforge.net/projects/sf3jswing/reviews).
;)
EDIT : I'll post an [RFE] soon. cu
