hi,

I'm not sure I'm doing things rights.
To display a sprite where the sprite equal its image size (png) I made the code below, is that correct ?

The result is that I have a blue screen without any sprite displayed.

What am I doing wrong ?
Thanks

Here the code (don't know why it was not included in the first place)
The only thing I've is a black screen.


#include "DarkSDK.h"


int width = 640, height = 480 , depth = 16; // screen resolution

void rasters(void) {

dbSprite ( 0, 0, 0, 0 ); //first zero is the sprite number, then x/y coord. then the number of the image where the sprite is taking from (see getimage)
}

void DarkSDK ( void )
{

dbSyncOn ( );
dbSyncRate ( 0 );


dbSetDisplayMode ( width, height, depth );

dbLoadImage ( "rasterr.png", 0 );

dbGetImage ( 0, 0, 0, 640, 16 ); //first zero number of the image (ref), then upper left, top width and size of the image to create the sprite

while ( LoopSDK ( ) )
{
if ( dbEscapeKey ( ) )
return;
rasters(); //display the sprite.
dbSync ( );
}
}

Valid Sprite and Image numbers start at 1.

Apart from that, your code looks fine.

Hi,

thanks but I thought of that just after posting but its not working either.
I even tried bmp, gif format in case, same pb.
The only thing that I saw once was a little dot moving because I did a typo in the code, instead of sprite 2 I put 12.

I'm lost

I find this strange:
You use "dbLoadImage ( <*.png>, imgID )"

and next line
"dbGetImage (imgID, coords)"

I am not at home and have no helpfile, also I have no experience with sprites yet, but I think you will overwrite the image!

dbLoadImage -> load the png into image with say ID 1.
dbGetImage -> load something from screen into image with ID 1.

Now, the image with the ID 1 will have what you got from screen and not the png.

--smithy

[EDIT]
AFAIK, the dbLoadImage will not display the image on screen but load the file in an imageobject which you can use then to i.e. texture another 3d-object.
To display the image, there should be something like "dbPasteImage".

Good catch,

So how do I tranlate my image as a sprite ?

I tried what you said but its not working either, meaning that I still do have a black screen.


#include "DarkSDK.h"


int width = 640, height = 480 , depth = 32; // screen resolution

void DarkSDK ( void )
{

dbSyncOn ( );
dbSyncRate ( 0 );


dbSetDisplayMode ( width, height, depth );

dbLoadImage ( "rasterr.bmp", 1 );

dbPasteImage(1,0,0);


while ( LoopSDK ( ) )
{
if ( dbEscapeKey ( ) )
return;

dbSync ( );
}
}

I didn't spot that

You don't. You just specify the image number as the last parameter of the sprite. Sprites link to images.
