I downloaded the demo of DBP to see if it can help me out of any of my DB problems, then I fell at first hurdle. It doesnt like my syntax for setting up a string variable.

Heres my syntax:
$terrain="bmp\terrain\terrain1.bmp"

Heres the error,
#100010: Cannot perform 'integer' cast on type '$$1' at line 23.

I have no idea what this could mean. Can anyone help me here?

thx Lance

thanks hubdule thats the trick!

still inevitably running into other problems though. what are changes (if any) to matrix code? all looks the same in the help files, but i cant get this code to show anything other than a grey matrix

load image "bmp\terrain\textures1.bmp",1
make matrix 1,10000.0,10000.0,64,64
prepare matrix texture 1,1,2,2

surely i should see the first tile across the whole matrix? adding "set matrix tile" didnt help..

any suggestions?

thx again
Lance

you need fill matrix after the prepare texture command. Use the update matrix command just in case.

NOBODY has a forum name as stupid as Darth Shader. I do.

thanks, i have now managed to get an image to tile across the matrix. however its using the texture from one of the models rather than the texture i thought i prepared.

i could probably figure this out for myself but I keep getting an XP error message about d3d8.dll. as far as i know i got all the latest drivers

sorry for newbness but im really fighting the urge to stick with DB for now any advice?

ta lance
