Hi there,

it's known that 'SAVE BITMAP' command is now obsolete.

I have been looking around and the only solution I've seen posted is one from Raven on 25th feb:

http://www.darkbasicpro.com/apollo/view.php?t=6408&b=6

I have to say that I have not been able to run it properly, the memblock runs out of space, and other problems... Making the output file unreadable from windows.

Has anyone tried it with better luck than me?
Raven are you there? :o)

Thanks in advance

P.D.: I think it's uncredible that they took out the command, c'mon, the more commands, the better ¿was it that hard? .still happy.

There is a DLL available that will do this.

Get it from RGT forums: http://www.realgametools.net/forums

[i'm sorry but the Raven you have called is not at home right now but if you'd like to leave a message then please wait for the beep. if you'd like a human operator to answer please hold the line for 2-18hours... all calls will be charged at $1.50/minute. Raven would like to thank you for your patience]
BEEEP!

Ian's is a good one never tested the one i posted last time, just sat there and typed it up in a min - thats what i get for working from the top of my head.
but should really be learning from what code you're given, working would be nice lol but sometimes its better when it doesn't so you can figure out whats wrong to fixx it and learn in the process

i think next time though i'll atleast run it through the compiler once.

oki well i'm in at the moment on the laptop, having my 6th beer of the nite ... i think i'm starting to get nicely sloshed
and i'm going back outside in a sec to train some more cause it is just such a perfect evening (^_^)

well anyways i got a lil bored just now, extended Ian's code, now you can save the screen, image or bitmap to a 24bit v3 bitmap
now before you ask, nope not tested - but should work as it is literally just a simple extention.
(that is provided Ian's works lol)

oh i've been getting used to using a global set of variables i'm using as a pointer system so that i can just add on instances of things to the end ... it allows me to use a tally at the end of each program so i can release everything. I know Pro does this already but it helps a few other things too.

for this example i've included all you need

My code *was* a bit mixed up on screen/bitmaps - it would work only if the bitmap you wanted to save was the screen bitmap - ah well, it was a long night

Still, a few simple changes and now it works properly.

Anyone up for writting a save as .jpg with the quality setting?

Now that'd be a challenge.

EDIT: Um, not to worry http://www.realgametools.net/forums/index.php?board=28;action=display;threadid=7151

lol... depends which kind of encoding you want Pneu - it's easier achieveing it within C/C++ than it is within DarkBasic thou.

i noticed that no ones done a PNG/PCX/TGA/DDS one - perhaps i could do that as they're good formats

Now I've been using my code in anger, I found a problem - sometimes the bitmap doesn't load back quite right. I've now found out that each row of pixels written must be padded to a multiple of 4 bytes in size.

Here is the fixed code

Nope - it does use 3 bytes per colour, but insists on each line being padded.
