I am making a 2d game that consists of many maps. Rather than just making a bunch of images, I thought that I might be able to make one LARGE map that is divided for each individual map. The resolution is 800x600. The map file is 4000x3000 (enough for 5 maps across and 5 maps down). The sprite doesn't even appear. Why? There is no black on it so it shouldn't be invisible.

Basically, what I want to know is: Why won't my sprite(that is 5x the size of the screen) appear?

Thanks

Why not just use multiple image files for the worlds? I'm sure it won't take up more space than the one large image, and most of all, it will certainly make things easier.

I have considered that and probably will do that, but now I am curious as to why it won't show. Could it be because it is too big?

Attach the image to your next message so we can test it out. Darkbasic might not like it.

one possibility is that you might have it moved off screen
try
and see if you can see it then.

I downloaded a hubble image and increased its size to 4000x3000 and I ran your code with only a filename change and it worked fine. It's gotta be your image.

I'm only guessing here but it may be possible that you don't have enough video memory to store such a large bitmap.

I made an image 4000x3000 in photoshop to see how large it would be and it is 34Mb. If you only have 32Mb of video memory then you will most definately run into problems.
