Hi,

I'm having trouble with my sprites. I think it has something to do with my display/window setup:


Is there anything I could be forgetting? I am loading all sprites after setting display settings.

Cheers,
JRH

erm, what kind of problems?

I can see nothing obviously wrong with what you have posted.

Could you explain the problem in more detail, perhaps provide an image and also some source code relating to your sprites? It'd make it a little easier for us to help you

[FACEPALM] Totally forgot to mention what the issue is [/FACEPALM]

My sprites are invisible, and there are no error messages. I've tested it with multiple sprites and configurations, but nothing works. Interestingly, the splash screen uses sprites, and that displays fine.

Because of the structure of my code, in different Functions and Modules, it isn't really possible to post an understandable code snippet, but I will try.

Thanks anyway.

...And where are the sprite related commands?

I am not asking for help with sprite commands, I am asking if there is anything wrong with the display setup that could be making my sprites invisible.

What happens when you take off the display command; do the sprites show up?

Maybe there is a glitch with the VSync parameter due to the graphics card you have who knows.

If they are still invisible, anything in the world could be happing in your source code causing them to hide. Providing the correct camera is active, and you are calling the sync command, and your sprite images actually exist, and the images are valid then only god knows what is wrong with your source code right now.

Why is there a Show Window command; isn't the window already visible anyway?
