I'm making a slot machine game for my friend. I need to texture the cylinders I loaded up. I simply had a command that loaded the bitmap file of the texture, but then, when I texture the cylinder, it asks for an image number. In other words, look at it this way:


When I load "Slots!" it has a bitmap number. When I texture the objects, I need an Image number I need to texture the 3 cylinders with "Slots!" but "Slots!" isn't what DarkBASIC says is an image number.

What happens when when you mix coke, pop rocks, vinegar, and baking soda?

Sounds like you are confusing DB's Bitmap with Image.

If you use Load Bitmap, (for Bitmap read 'screen'), then you still need to use Get Image to grab the image off the bitmap.

In other words, use Load Image - not Load Bitmap.

Thank you, TDK. I have tons of other problems with this game, but I'd rather not post too many questions, as people might think I'm spamming.

'Officially', spamming is posting the same thing on more than one board. If you have lots of questions, just post them one at a time on one board and then get that aspect of your program working before posting another one.

People won't be all that bothered unless you've clearly not attempted to solve your problem by using the search button - or the subject is already covered in depth in one of the tutorials.
