You have to create the matrix before you set the matrix tile. Make sure pave07 is in the same directory as your code.

Also LOAD IMAGE needs the image number you want to load into, e.g.

LOAD IMAGE "whatever.jpg",1

In DBPRO editor, hit F1 when cursor is in load image text and you get online help that tells you the syntax.

rem texture
load image "pave07.bmp",1

rem make matrix
make matrix 1,5000,5000,70,70
randomize matrix 1,300.0

`texture matrix
set matrix tile 1,70,70,1

Try that

It means that the command LOAD IMAGE needs two values after it

1. STRING, this is a string of text enclosed in quotes, e.g. "pave07.bmp" or it could be string variable,e.g. filename$ that holds the filename of the texture

2. INTEGER, this is a whole number, like 1,2 or 99

If you don't know this you are going to struggle bad!

You are going to be the death of us!

Make sure graphic file is in same folder as your .dba and .dbpro file. In my example it is called pave07.bmp
