I created a matrix using Matedit1.6 and able to load it if I create the stand alone option but if i use the laodmatrix option..i geyt an array out of bounds error...not sure what to do here..any one seen this error...is the possible workaround to take the data from the standalone dba file and use it as a gosub routine? anyone experience this?

THe erro line # is beyond my main program so i assuming it is in the loadmatrix code....

I've never had any trouble loading a Matedit matrix. Did you put this code at the top of your program before your main loop?

+ Code Snippet

`declare the MatEdit variables
Dim BigMatrix(600,600,1)
Dim StartLoc_X(1): Dim StartLoc_Z(1):Dim Info(2)
Dim TArrayX(1): Dim TArrayZ(1): Dim FKey(10,1)
Dim ColData(100): Dim ZoneData(100): Dim Tiles(500,500)
Dim OverTexture$(100): Dim OverName$(20): Dim ReplaceTex(100)
Dim MOffsetX(25): Dim MOffsetY(25)
Dim MWire(20): Dim MGhost(20): Dim Lock(20)
Dim MatX#(20): Dim MatY#(20): Dim MatZ#(20)
Dim MatWidth#(20): Dim MatHeight#(20)
Dim TilesX(20): Dim TilesZ(20)
Dim MatHi#(20): Dim MatLo#(20)

You must have that code in your main program file in order to load the matrix. Hope this helps

MAybe I should be clear on what I want to do incase I am doing this wrong. I have variou slevels I like to load..ie. level 1, level 2..etc.

all levels are created via matedit..I figure i would just use laodmatirx when it is time to load the next level...i thought it would be simple..maybe there an issue with my matrix i created....

I haven't tried loading different levels. Maybe I'll try that and see what happens. Do you have all the necessary textures in your source folder? That's the only other thing I can think of.
