I get the get image part and sprite function, but can't get my sprite on the screen. Would anyone be so kind as to tell me what is wrong with this?

load image "example.bmp",1
load image 1,2,3,4,5
sprite 1,x,y,1

It's in DBC, FYI.

Hi,

Not sure what you're doing on the second line, and you haven't set x/y to anything. Try this...

load image "example.bmp",1
do
sprite 1,50,50,1
sync
loop

I did see something a while back where if the image was invalid the sprite would appear so tiny you couldn't see it, so also check that your image is valid.

Hope it helps,
Cheers.

Hello. I'm having the same problem with my Dark Basic Pro
I have tried several different pictures and none seem to display on my screen. I just keep getting a black screen. I cannot get any sprites to work. I also tried putting a PRINT command in before and after the SPRITE command to see if I could get text and I cannot even get that. Not until I remove all other commands, I can't even have the LOAD BITMAP in there or else the text will not display. I don't know what's wrong.

Any help on this would be greatly appriciated.

Hi,

@SkyeFyre, looking at your code, you are replacing your loaded image with a captured blank area of the screen -



You don't need to do the GET IMAGE command. Remove it, add a sync and it'll work -



You only need the GET IMAGE command if you want to capture an area of the screen, for example...



EDIT:Actually, in my examples above, you don't need the Sync, but I put it there just to be sure the screen was updated

Hope it helps,
Cheers.

Hey cool thanks.
/me looks at his Premier's Beginners Guide To Programming using Dark Basic
-_-...figures... stupid book

Um... just tried that still won't work. =/ I don't know what's up

EDIT:It works when I do LOAD IMAGE... but not LOAD BITMAP. Now, with this I get a blue background so I'm guessing that means I'm in 3D mode. I want do to a 2D game, can it be done with LOAD IMAGE? or do I need to keep tearing my hair out trying to figure out how to use LOAD BITMAP?

You proberly want to do this.



LOAD IMAGE loads directly into an image. Also if you are using dbpro and the image for 2d it's best to use the GET/LOAD IMAGE texture flag so dbpro doesn't filter the image lowering the quality e.g
load image "a.bmp",1,1
get image 1,0,0,50,50,1

If your using dbc just remove the texture flag e.g.
