GBitmap In Order to Extrude miplevel, bitmap...

I made a gun in 3dstudio max 4. Used a jpg 210X210 for the texture. I exported to dts. When i try to import into engine i get:
GBitmap::GBitmap: In Order to Extrude miplevel, bitmap w/h must be pow2

I get the impression it is saying the image needs to be a power of 2. Well if my math skilz serve me correctly, 210 is a power of 2. Help.

If i dont use a texture, the model comes in correctly, but a light blue..

The actual texture is 210x210 but i cropped it in 3dstudio max. is this a no-no?

help

Your math skills deceive you. What you need is a power of two, rather than a multiple of two. For that size texture you'd need to either go up to 256x256, or down to 128x128.

power of 2, not divisible my 2.

width and height must be some 2^n where n>0 (and usually n<=8)

2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, ...
