ok im new to darkbasic so i checked out a few of the steps for the "monster hunter" tutorial provided by this site. when i put in the code for matrix texturing, i got an error saying that the image does not exsist. this isnt the first time that ive gotten the "image does not exsist" message. i have DarkBASIC 1.12, do i need to buy more software to get textures and images or something else?

If you expect a kick in the balls, but get a slap in the face, consider that to be a victory.

Is there a DarkBASIC 1.12 ??

The problem is, you're not specifying the directory of the image correctly. Try putting in the full directory, ie, "C:/program files/images/textre1.bmp" or the like.

Hope I Helped...

Yes, make sure you specify the texture. When you get a "Image does not Exist error" its really easy to track down. If you say

Load Image "myimage.bmp",1

Then it is looking for a file called "myimage.bmp" where the program is being executed (the same folder as your project) So, to fix this error, simply track down any image file and copy its location eg.

C:\My Documents\My Pictures\Bird.bmp

And put that in load image. As long as you get the path name correct it should load. If you know the image exists, make sure you spelled everything correct!! Youd be amazed by how many times my code busts because I spell something wrong!

Hope that helped
