Displaying an image, crashing WoW (Win 64 bit)

[TrumpetX]

I'm displaying an image and it's crashing WoW on Windows 64 bit (I have not tested 32 bit). It does NOT crash on a Mac.

Here is my image:
http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/a...0&d=1417713965

Here is the code:

    local f = CreateFrame("Frame",nil,UIParent)
    f:SetFrameStrata("BACKGROUND")
    f:SetWidth(256)
    f:SetHeight(256)
    local t = f:CreateTexture(nil,"BACKGROUND")
    t:SetTexture("Interface/AddOns/MyAddon/pvp.tga")
    t:SetAllPoints(f)
    f.texture = t
    f:SetPoint("CENTER",0,0)
    f:Show()

Any help would be appreciated. The exact error varies depending on the timing of the image popping up; however when the full error happens, it's a memory corrupt #132? error. The exact text eludes my memory at the moment. The ErrorData in the wow folder didn't really give me any clues; however, after testing things out, the crash most certainly happens on the above code (I cleared out everything else to just this).


I have also tried t:SetTexture("Interface\\AddOns\\MyAddon\\pvp.tga")

The .tga file was created using Gimp's default settings, 256x256

Thanks

Looks like it's an indexed color pallette, Blizzard suggests a 32-bit TGA format. To convert the image using GIMP, you need to open the image, then select Image > Mode > RGB in the menus. Then right-click the image in the layers dialog and choose Add Alpha Channel. Then you can go to File > Overwrite pvp.tga to save it back to your file. The end result should be a 32-bit TGA.

That was exactly the problem. Thanks! The tutorial I read said that Gimp's default versions were good enough, but I'm going to guess that the black/white image messed it up.

Yep, GIMP's default settings when creating a new image and saving it as TGA do not include an indexed color palette.

The palette and RGB modes are in the base editor itself and not in the converter. It's easy to overlook when creating/converting an image. I think GIMP defaults to RGB mode when creating a new image and only switches to palettes when opening an image created as such.
