Hello all,
I am new around here and to programing for that matter.
Attached is a bit of code i am trying to get working.
All is well till it tries to load the image at which
point i get "RUN TIME ERROR 506 - Could not load image at Line 26"
I have been through the forums and tried many things,
but as yet have had no luck. I am using DBpro.

Thanks

I don't see the code, but I'll see what I can do for you.

First of all, let's say you have a picture called,
Bob.jpg

Nextly you need to load your image file by entering
load image "Bob.jpg",1
(Providing the image is number 1 or not, you set number)

Now to show your image on the screen, just simply put
paste image 1,0,0

The 1 is the image number.
Just replace your 0s with your X and Y cordinates (The 0s I put would just make it on the top left side of the screen) and voila! Picturefied! Hope I helped!

Oh yeah, and if that's what you did, look at your file entension. That might be comflicting too. I usually use .JPGs

-Have Fun!

it has it that way.
just get rid of LOAD IMAGE "DIRTGRAY.tga", 1, 1
and not LOAD IMAGE "DIRTGRAY.tga", 1
and you should be fine. And nah, I understand your current state and how much you need help. Everyone needs it sometime... even I have trouble figuring out something right now. But for now I gotta get to bed, so if that don't work, unless nobody replies by the time I wake up and get on here, you'll have to work alone... or be happy if it works.

Well nights!

You also have a REPEAT there, in that both images loaded have the same number. This may or may not cause the error you're seeing, but it's worth considering.

Any truly great code should be indisguishable from magic.

OK this seems to be the winning combo (and there was much rejoicing)

---------------------------
rem Make a matrix to move on
make matrix 1,1024,1024,32,32

Rem texture matrix
Load image "DIRTGRAY.JPG",1
Prepare matrix texture 1,1,2,2
---------------------------

Problem is now only "DIRTGRAY.JPG" wants to load? Any idea?

Thanks in advance,
E
