Tutorial 05: trying my own .bmp files turns out black

[leo-nerd]

Hello. I'm trying to replace the included .bmp textures with other images. I'm keeping them 512x512. The cube renders all black. What am I missing? Thanks.

Do you have anything reported to the console? Maybe file was not found.

BMP has multiple format and we only support one in the loader. as per: http://www.opengl-tutorial.org/beginners-tutorials/tutorial-5-a-textured-cube/#loading-bmp-images-yourself

Our bmp loader is more for curious mind that want to see all the details. Not really something that should be used anywhere. Maybe you could instead use a proper image loading library like https://github.com/nothings/stb for instance.
