Back again, hopefully this is a easy one. Having this weird problem loading a image as a sprite. I try to load one "sample.jpeg" and it doesn't work, error says can't load bitmap. If I do a different "sample.JPG" (yes that is how the extensions are) it loads with no problem. The only difference is the 2nd image is much larger. Anyone have this problem before?

Speak while there's time.

since it says cannot load bitmap maybe you are using the load bitmap commands rather then the load image commands

That's because the extension is "jpg" not "jpeg"

Or more specifically, DBC identifies what type files are by their extensions, and it doesn't know what a '.jpeg' is...

As you say yourself, it loads fine if it's renamed to a .jpg.

So do that. What's the problem?

... installing gentoo ...

Just an FYI to what this issue was. I received some image files from a friend. Well the files were some other image extension (can't remember what) but he renamed them ".jpeg" instead of converting them. After I made them true ".jpg" files everything was fine.
