Hey, so for college we were taught DarkBasic (classic), but now ive tried to go from that to DBPro but i'm having a stupid problem which is preventing me from running the game:

Ive basically copied a simple game i created in DB to DBP but it errors when loading the images? Everything is exactly the same from DB which worked perfectly. This is the error:


Thanks for reading

Have you created a DBPro project file? (a .dbpro file)

Without it, the application will be created in the temp folder, which is where your program is looking for its images.

Click on File > Save Project and save it to the same location as the .dba file, and it should work.

You need to open the DBPro file. You're still just using the dba file.

Close the editor, then double click the dbpro file. (Or close everything within the editor, then file > Open Project)

Arrgh, I hate this kind of guff with DBP. So annoying when you just want to run the darn code! This is why I still prefer DBC.

Once you get used to the project space, DBPro is waaaaaay better.
