Hi I'm new And I've Written A Tutorial

The Command "Load Image"

now the first "1" means the image number it is, so if you wanted to add another image into your program you would have to change it to "2" so it would look like this

Now the second "1" is the texture flag this means the quality of the image.
e.g.
1=stays exactly how it was
0=will treat the image as a texture so it would spread out across the whole screen.

The Command "Save Image

"1" means its number and this number can be between 1-65535

The Command "Delete image"

if you delete the image the sprite (image) will dissapear


Please tell me what you think, be nice, im new

Website coming soon...

If you are going to write a tutorial, you should at least get the commands right - SAVE IMAGE doesn't work quite like that.

Perhaps, since you only joined yesterday, you should spend a little more time learning DBPro before you write any more tutorials?

[EDIT]In fact, reading closer, I see that every one of your commands is incorrect.

1. Missed a comma on the load image command
2. The image doesn't have to be a .bmp
3. Don't make people think images are sprites.
4. Save image command has no filename to save as.
5. Delete image command has too many commas.
6. See the help files before you mention texture flags again, you misunderstood it.

'Nuff said

We all have the help files too, if you don't understand something then ask a question, not write a tutorial that could mislead other newcomers.

At least youre trying to help, well done for that. but at least make sure they work, and test your commands, before you decide to write up a tutorial.
Dont give up though, the first stage is never easy.

As people have already said, this isn't really a tutorial and none of what you put actually works.

You should have lots of experience before attempting a tutorial - and know what you are writing about inside out.

So, I've edited the thread topic so newcomers looking for 'tutorials' aren't misled.
