sven I know you mean well but under no circumstances will i spend 3 hours trying to load an image and not check the filename, thanks for the advice though.
In the end i got it working. It was an older version of darkbasic, which obviously had some kind of bug in it that wasnt capable of loading images in the way I was trying.
However i can fire a new question at you, (I shall include the entire code at this point so far) is that I would like to add snow to my world.
The way I wish to do it would be to make around 200 small spherical objects (quite resource intensive but easiest way) which will be placed randomly throught the matrix and at random height, decrementing each frame and once the height reaches zero they will be placed back to their original ehight (just above the camera), I have done this thousands of times before but am experiencing problems. To create this many objects I usually use a loop such as:
for i = 5 to 50
make object sphere,i,200
position object i,rnd(2000),rnd(100),rnd(2000) : rem to fill matrix
next i
the problem is, even though this usually it works it doesnt here. Ive started with object number 5 as to prevent conflicting with the tfirst three objects (1-3 respectively). I get a series of two error messages, if i run it with the above code in it says the object does not exist and highlights the main loop, if I remove the code that positions the snow it says the object number must be in range of 1-65***, and also highlights the main loop. Any ideas? I*m sure there is nothing conflicting there, so if you can see any blatant logical errors please feel free to point them out.
Have you ever put gloves in the glovce compartment? Didn't think so.
