Hey!
When I try to run any games I have made I get the following error:

Error
cwd:c://blahblahblah LOAD IMAGE club01.png

The code I am using is :


Yes,I did add the media,clicked "add" in the media bar and added the image,yet I get the aforementioned error.
Could somebody shed some light on this problem/how to fix it?
Cheers,
Dietrich.

If you get the error that it can't load "club01.png" and you say that the code snip you provided is what your working with... then you haven't posted the entire code. It won't tell you there's an error loading "club01.png" if you're truly only trying to load "DSCF058.JPG".

You don't always have to add the file to .exe if the files you're trying to load are in the same directory as the source code. You can also create a directory within the source codes directory to store any files you need. You just need to add the directory name to the filename.

Ah, I don't know what update caused it but I can't load .gif images either. You can reload that .gif in a drawing program and resave it as either a .bmp or .png so Darkbasic doesn't have any problems loading it.

Most of us only use .png because .bmp and .jpg don't keep the alpha channel (transparency). When you use .png you can create effects like transparent windows on buildings/cars that allows the background to be seen through the window.

.jpgs are the worst because they always change the colors on all images. If you have one color when you draw it... when you reload it that one color will be changed to many close colors but nothing near your original image. So keep away from .jpg like it's a horrible disease.

If you don't have a drawing program that saves in .png upload the image and I can convert it for you.
