ITexture module help

[I_am_McLovin]

Hey, I'm working on a simple lua module where I try to grab the pixel data from an ITexture. This is what I'm doing to get the texture.

Lua()->CheckType(1, GLua::TYPE_TEXTURE);

ITexture* tex = (ITexture *)Lua()->GetUserData(1);

Any help would be appreciated. :)

I believe there is already a module for this :l

I checked, if you know what it is feel free to post it...

I said I checked, if it were that obvious I wouldn't have bothered making a thread...

In his code to render the image to a texture, hes using vgui::ISurface to draw the texture according to the image buffer.

Lua()->CheckType( 1, TYPE_IMAGE );
Lua()->CheckType( 2, GLua::TYPE_NUMBER );

CImage* image = reinterpret_cast<CImage*>( Lua()->GetUserData( 1 ) );
int textureId = Lua()->GetInteger( 2 );

// commit
g_pSurface->DrawSetTextureRGBA( textureId, image->GetBuffer(), image->GetWidth(), image->GetHeight(), false, true );

And for getting pixels hes retrieving them directly from the image, not a texture.

I on the other hand am trying to access the pixels. :\

I'm not so sure you are supposed to set the pixels outside of a regenerator, or on a texture that's not set to procedural.

What about a render target?

There might be something in IVTFTexture, but it doesn't appear that there's a way to do this with ITexture.

I'm not sure if what I'm looking at is wrong, or the source you gave was outdated. Here is what I found in public/materialsystem/itexture.h

abstract_class ITexture
{
public:
	// Various texture polling methods
	virtual const char *GetName( void ) const = 0;

	virtual bool IsMipmapped() const = 0;

	virtual void GetLowResColorSample( float s, float t, float *color ) const = 0;

	// Gets texture resource data of the specified type.

	// Methods associated with reference count
	virtual void IncrementReferenceCount( void ) = 0;
	virtual void DecrementReferenceCount( void ) = 0;

	inline void AddRef() { IncrementReferenceCount(); }
	inline void Release() { DecrementReferenceCount(); }

	// Used to modify the texture bits (procedural textures only)
	virtual void SetTextureRegenerator( ITextureRegenerator *pTextureRegen ) = 0;

	// Reconstruct the texture bits in HW memory

	// NOTE: Stuff after this is added after shipping HL2.

	virtual void DeleteIfUnreferenced() = 0;

	virtual bool ClearTexture( int r, int g, int b, int a ) = 0;
	virtual bool CreateRenderTargetSurface( int width, int height, ImageFormat format, bool bSameAsTexture ) = 0;
#endif

	// swap everything except the name with another texture
	virtual void SwapContents( ITexture *pOther ) = 0;

	// Retrieve the vtf flags mask
	virtual unsigned int GetFlags( void ) const = 0;

	// Force LOD override (automatically downloads the texture)
	virtual void ForceLODOverride( int iNumLodsOverrideUpOrDown ) = 0;
};

// Gets texture resource data of the specified type.

Could that possibly be what I'm looking for? And I took another look at gm_image and saw...

// allocate a new buffer
unsigned long imageSize = m_Width * m_Height * 4;
m_pBits = new unsigned char[ imageSize ];

// read
IMatRenderContext* context = materialsystem->GetRenderContext();
context->ReadPixels( x, y, width, height, m_pBits, IMAGE_FORMAT_RGBA8888 );
