When I enter Dark Basic Pro editor and type the following 4 lines:-

load image "image.bmp",1
do
sprite 1,300,200,1
loop

a error is displayed saying it cant load the image, can anyone help me to get a image from my `c` drive loaded into Dark Basic Pro so I can display a sprite from the image(by the way the image for the sprite is "image.bmp" from Dark Basic Pro folder in `programs` in `c` drive under `sprite`).Thanks.

Do you remember to put "image.bmp" in the same folder as your exe? Or in any other place, as long as you define the right path when you load the image. If you wanted to load an image from the c drive, it would be something like:


etc...

And you don't need to put the sprite command in the loop. You can just do like this:

There's an issue!
Quote: "Do you remember to put "image.bmp" in the same folder as your exe?"

Did you even read that?

Okay, that's one problem. One more is that you probably haven't even saved your project yet, so you cannot load anything, because it is trying to load from something that doesn't even exist. SAVE your code in a folder, then put "Image.bmp" in that folder. To save, click FILE while you're in DBPRo, then Save Project or Save Source (TO just save the code, use Save Source)

Remember what I just told you

=Hope you were listening...

You need a sync in it.

Try
sync on
sync rate 0
load image "image.bmp",1
do

sprite 1,300,200,1

sync
loop

Wow, you should try getting a tilemap to load into HAM correctly. THAT is difficult, not putting a bmp into the project directory. You did make a project, didn't you?


Since the other one was scaring you guys so much...

it means that its the wrong directory. Save your project, copy and paste that image/save it to that directory (same folder as your project), then use your code.

Or, use the 'Set Dir' command, and set the directory to your desktop, like 'Set Dir "Blah Blah/Desktop"', then just use 'load image'

Umm... You don't need to sync, you only need to sync when the "sync on" command is used, i have done things like that before and they have worked for me. Also, try using the media manager, check the box "Copy to this folder" and get the image from the desktop. It will now be included in your EXE, and you can make sure you are spelling the name correctly.
