Ok I been folling around with matedit and found out it won't work in pro like i thought. Then i was think i could use the multi matrix part. But befor i do that i was seeing if i could edit the dba's made in matedit to work how i want them to in dbp..

In the source button you will see how i made it.. i added where it gets the error at.. is there a way to tell if its reading the data part right..

thanks for any help with this..

ok i been playing around a bit more.. i got it to load, but it doesn't load the textures how they where in matedit.
this is what i changes.. not much.

+ Code Snippet

    Rem Load Project Texture Image Here
    Bmpname$="_DRAGON WARRIOR TOWN 1.bmp"
    Load Image Bmpname$,1
    `Make Matrix 1,MatWidth#,MatHeight#,TilesX(1),TilesZ(1)
    Make Matrix 1,MatWidth#,MatHeight#,TilesX,TilesZ
    Rem Create texture tile set from project image
    PREPARE MATRIX TEXTURE 1,1,Int(UsersImage#),Int(UsersImage#)
   ` trim#=1.0/TilesizeX#
   ` set matrix trim 1,trim#,trim#
    set matrix texture 1,2,0
    Rem Read in texture values for each matrix tile
    For N1=0 To TilesZ(1)-1
      For N2=0 To TilesX(1)-1
        Read String 1,T$: MatTex=Val(T$)
        SET MATRIX TILE 1,N2,N1,MatTex
        Tiles(N2,N1)=MatTex
      Next N2
    Next N1

Like I said in my e-mail of the 22nd, if you don't update DBP with U5, the textures will not look right.

They do in MatEdit because it was written in DBC - not Pro!

oh i was talking about where i had them change to a different texture. i have it all figured out now. it turns out i wasn't updating the martix after.. and i know if i use U5 i can use the trim command, but thats the only reason for me to update to it.
