RE: loadimage show pcx error - a740g - 06-22-2024
@macalwen I figured out the issue. It is indeed a limitation with dr_pcx. And I also figured out that other than the issues you reported, it does not support loading 24bpp images too. So, what I said on top earlier about 24bpp images working is incorrect. Probably that was something else I tested.
Anyway, I am in the process of writing the missing parts and if I get too adventurous, I might end up writing a new loader.
Thank you for reporting the issue.

@macalwen This is fixed! I'll run some more tests and then push the fix to the repo, and it should be available in the next version we publish.
Basically, dr_pcx has a bunch of issues with PCX formats other than the standard ones. I initially, set out to fix these shortcomings by studying the loaders in Gimp, Paint.Net and some others. However, I ended up re-writing the loader.

You should be able to attach PCX files now.
