Hi everybody... I couldn't be so upset with DBPro... Some days ago I noticed that every image I try to load has its corners cut, even if I put the ,1 at the end of the command.
It seems that the last vertical line of pixels disappear and the image goes 1 pixel foward.
I tried to use make image from memblock, but its useless...
How am I going to make a game without pixel perfect images? Does anybody know a way of making a 16x16 image without this problem that doesn't involve getting a bigger image? Thank you.

Eh, no, get image command is weird in that you specify an extra pixel on the 'right' and 'bottom' parameters, so in fact it IS only grabbing a 16X16 image.

Same is if you do BOX 0,0,5,5 (draws a box 5 * 5 pixels from 0,0 to 4,4).

Most of the 2d commands treat the 'bottom' and 'right' parameters as a 'fence' and draw UPTO the fence.

I personally think it's stupid. If I want a line to go from 10,10 to 20,20 I want to say LINE 10,10,20,20. Instead you have to say LINE 10,10,21,21

ok spooky, after slamming my head on the desk a few times it's clearer to me now.



MK1, I loaded a 16,16 image made in paint using load image filename, image number, 1 and it's doesn't cut any thing off of it for me. How about posting some code?

MK1: A possibilty is that you are running in the wrong mode. If you have your project 'settings' set to full screen windowed mode and thae window size set to, say, 640X480 but your actual desktop is set to 1024*768, it will stretch your little image and blur the edges.

Either set windows size to same as desktop or even better, use full screen exclusive mode.

I'm not using windowed mode, I'm sure... If you don't believe me give a look at This code. For me the first white pixels of the image will be duplicated. All the other pixels will be 1x1 in size but these are 2x1! No matter what I do, nothing works. Changing the size of the image doesn't make any difference:

NO! That's not what I get!!! It may have got something to do with the trial version (I can't install patch 4). I don't understand! Why do I get strange images every time I load a image? Do you know why it happens only for me? ... that's not fair!

Well, I can tell you this, The trial version sucks, it patch at version 2 ,I belive, and I can remember when I had it examples people would give me wouldn't work, and to just top it off when I got the full version most of the stuff I wrote using the trial version didn't work.

but for not a simple fix for what you want would be to put the image I made or make one of your own with paint, in the directory of your program and use LOAD IMAGE

I've already tried, load image doesn't work too. No matter the way I get the image, it seems to be a problem with the images themselves. Anyway, thank you for helping me, at least DBPro is not so buggy as I thought, only trial must have this bug... well, let's buy the full version.
