You are positioning your tiles relative to a variable called tilesixe which has no value and so zero will be used.

Perhaps you mean tilesize which does have a value

Great Britain would be Amazing Britain if it wasn't for idiots like you bringing down the average!

Did you know if you used numbers instead of strings you can save yourself some trouble?

If the map data are all numbers you can use them as the image numbers... saving yourself some extra coding checking the string to determine what image number to use.

I hope you don't take offense to this.

Code example of using numbers instead:

I will do that once it gets fixed. I don't want another thing that could cause a bug untill after I get rid of all the bugs already there.

Without all the media it's hard to test... but it seems to me your overcomplicating the tile placement.

It's just as I thought... overcomplicating. It's the for/next loops. The following code does not fix it... it just shows you why it's not working. I added a screenshot for quick reference.

For y = playery - windowsizey to playery + windowsizey
   For x = playerx - windowsizex to playerx + windowsizex
      xpos = x - (playerx - windowsizex)
      ypos = y - (playery - windowsizey)
      If map$(x,y,level,1) = "wall" then paste image 9,xpos*tilesize,ypos*tilesize
      If map$(x,y,level,1) = "door" then paste image 2,xpos*tilesize,ypos*tilesize
      If map$(x,y,level,1) = "floor" then paste image 3,xpos*tilesize,ypos*tilesize
      If map$(x,y,level,1) = "key" then paste image 4,xpos*tilesize,ypos*tilesize
      If map$(x,y,level,1) = "lock" then paste image 5,xpos*tilesize,ypos*tilesize
      If map$(x,y,level,1) = "open" then paste image 6,xpos*tilesize,ypos*tilesize
      If map$(x,y,level,1) = "up" then paste image 7,xpos*tilesize,ypos*tilesize
      If map$(x,y,level,1) = "down" then paste image 8,xpos*tilesize,ypos*tilesize
      
      ` These 4 lines will show the current x and y of the map data
      if map$(x,y,level,1)="" then map$(x,y,level,1)="Nothing"
      text xpos*tilesize,ypos*tilesize,map$(x,y,level,1)
      text xpos*tilesize,ypos*tilesize+20,"X="+str$(x)
      text xpos*tilesize,ypos*tilesize+40,"Y="+str$(y)
   
   next x
   ypos = ypos + tilesize
next y

+ Code Snippet

For y = playery - windowsizey to playery + windowsizey
   For x = playerx - windowsizex to playerx + windowsizex
      xpos = x - (playerx - windowsizex)
      ypos = y - (playery - windowsizey)

      If map$(x,y,level,1) = "down" then paste image 8,xpos*tilesize,ypos*tilesize

Because the x and y start way beyond the map data you get a whole bunch of "Nothing"'s.

Look at the picture. In the first tile location (upper left corner) it says "Nothing" and right under that it says that "x=-4" and "y=-3". In the code the map data loaded goes from 1 to 68 for x and 1 to 65 for y. So if x is -4 and y is -3 then you don't have any data for that tile location because it is beyond 1 to 68 and 1 to 65. "Nothing" is written because of this line:

+ Code Snippet

if map$(x,y,level,1)="" then map$(x,y,level,1)="Nothing"

Meaning if map$(x,y,level,1) = no text at all... change it to "Nothing". I did that to show you that when you see "Nothing" that means the data for that location is non-existant.

You need to change x to start at 1 and y to start at 1... or move the "down" farther into the map so that you don't see "Nothing" data.

Ok. Your post helped me figure out the problem. The Playerx and Playery variables are 0 when they aren't supposed to be. I had this code in the program that got the playerx and Playery coordinates from the Level.map file. For some reason it doesn't work. The part in the file that says "down" is where the player is supposed to start. Here is the code that was supposed to do that:

        For x = 1 to mapsize(I,1)
            read string 1,map$(x,y,I,1)
        next x
    next y
    close file 1
next I

For y = 1 to mapsize(level)
    For x = 1 to mapsize(level)
        If map$(x,y,level,1) = "down"
           playerx = x
           playery = y
        endif
    next x
next y

return

The second part is the part that looks through the map array for the down thingy.

Edit: After it looks for "down" I added:

+ Code Snippet

Playerx = 27
Playery = 37

which is what they are supposed to be and it worked. I attached the screenshot. So the problem is in the Load Map part.

Edit (again): Ok. I fixed it. I had Mapsize(level) instead of Mapsize(level,1).

Thanks for your help!

It seems to be working to me. It's just a little messed up because you don't have any checks for the player limits... so it goes off the map data pretty quick.

Whenever I push the arrow keys the player just stays there and doesn't turn or anything. It isn't picking up the keyboard. I added
If shiftkey() = 1 then end
in the loop, but it didn't do anythingy if I pressed that either.

Sorry I looked at it with Pro. I messed with it a little bit... it's strange because in Classic your code tends to freeze up. When I remed off the placement of the players sprite it worked... but the map routine is still flawed so it's not working properly. I really think you need to convert your string map to numbers before you go on.

I tried getting rid of the pasting the player sprite, but it still doesn't work. I haven't been able to try this because I have been busy with my Map Editor Program.

Um...sorry. I don't want to do that because it always ends up making more bugs. I don't want to use numbers because it would be hard for me to know which number is what tile. I know there are probably a hundred reasons why it would be easier, but that is how I program.

Right.

One of the first things that people do is make an editor like you're doing. You don't need to know what number equals what tile because you can make it so you don't even see the numbers because you load/save maps in the editor.

It's ok... we all have our own styles of programming.

Never Mind...
I trashed this project. I will try again once I finish my editor.
