If you copy and paste

C:\darkbasic\media\bitmaps\textures\arcade\floor\grass16.bmp

into the box shown when clicking Start>Run, and then pressing ok does the image load up?

If, yes then you should probably copy the images into the same folder as your source code and just reference the file, not the path and file e.g.

grass16.bmp

If, no then you should change your code to point to the actual location on your hard drive where the images are.

Remember, it's a HORRIBLE idea to have a whole path C:\darkbasic\media\bitmaps\textures\arcade\floor\grass16.bmp in the code, because if anybody else plays it on a different PC, everything would have to be in the same spot. So put a folder called "Textures" in the same one as your game, and put Load image "textures\arcade\floor\grass16.bmp",1 in your code.

If you can read this, you are over qualified.

thats what i did it would take 2 long to type out C:\darkbasic\media\bitmaps\textures\arcade\floor\grass16.bmp
and as you say everything would have to be in the same place.
