I am pretty new to this but have programmed a bit before at uni. I am trying to get into DBPro and can not seem to load and paste an image to screen while getting to grips with the basics. I have been through all the forums/threads and nothing gives me a path of light! Code:

Load image "media\Grat-Pat1.bmp",1
paste image 1, screen width()/2, screen height()/2

suspend for key

I have upgraded to U76 and tried it before the update witht he version from the DVD. All I get is a black screen until I pres a key. I have tried loading lots of different images including those that come with DBPro. All produce the same. I am running Vista SP2 and have ensured there is no AV conflict with Norton.

I have been able to create objects and move the camera among other things but this stumps me. The only compile error I get is:

No icon is specified for the final exe

I have ensured theimage file is in the media folder and saved the DBPro file adn project first. I have tried using Sync and that has no effect. Am I doing something really dumb or is DBPro on it's own agenda?

The No icon "error" is actually a warning, and doesn't really matter... It just means that you haven't applied a custom ICON to your executable...

About the code... I can see no errors... But try this:



Replace "image.bmp" with an image file you have...

EDIT: I have never used the SUSPEND FOR KEY command, I normally use WAIT KEY, but can't see any difference in the manual between the two commands... You might wanna try your own code and use WAIT KEY instead to see if that makes any difference...

Hi, welcome to the forums.

Try a full path for the image file you are using..eg.



Also you can test if the image exists with the path you are using if you use IF FILE EXIST (returns a 1 if the file exists, 0 otherwise).

Please use when giving code examples.

Try putting your image in the same folder that you DBP file are, use no path.
a path is going to give you a problem, if you are going to let other people put the game on there computer.

After the paste image command, use the sync command before you await a key-press, as in enderleit's example.
