I got DarkBasic about seven years ago, put it away for awhile without ever trying to integrate DarkMatter material into my games, recently refound the CD-ROMs, and am trying to do just that. However, whenever I reference DarkMatter filenames (I'm almost positive that I'm referencing them the right way after reading the programming code of the pre-made games) it says that they don't exist and gives me an error message, just as though I had typed in a random string of characters as a filename and expected it to draw a file from that string. However, I have already installed DarkMatter and even viewed all the files myself. This issue extends to objects, textures, and music, and all of the several members of each category that I've tried. It has all been to no avail. Is there anything that I can do?

It would probably be easier to copy the media to your project folder and access it using a relative path.

e.g. load object "media/swat.x",1

rather than

load object "c:/program files/the game creators/dark basic pro/projects/my project/media/swat.x",1
