Hi. First post. Anyway, I'm using the trial version of DBPro, and here is the syntax I try to use to bring up my title image.


Actually, that's the code to the entire program so far.
I've looked at tons of tutorials and strangely enough, they all either don't mention image loading or go over very briefly. :/

Any help? When i run the program it just shows the black background and watermark.

a total noob.

Your missing a "Sync" command right after you paste the image.

make sure that the file you want is in the same file as the project or that you include a full location address for time being.

also you're eventually going to want to put that sync command into the main loop.
example:

did you save the DBPro project file in the same folder as the image you have called Title.jpg?

you dont need the sync command.

Also you dont really need to set the the font to "Arial" unless you plan to later put some text on the screen.

thats all i can think of if that if that doesnt work i dont know what is wrong.

Thanks for the replies, but none of that helps. The image just refuses to show up for some reason, even with the full path and Sync command. :/

I'd recommend taking a look at some of the example code in the projects included with your trial version. They've got commands for loading images and models [not that you need those yet] in working examples. If you copy what they're doing, that might further your understanding enough to load your image.

The first sync is always wasted.
