Bauman #1 / 5	Bload and bsave in screen 12 I have these commands at the end of a program that draws stuff in screen 12(these are the commands right after all the drawing): DEF SEG = &HA000 BSAVE "board.bsv", 0, 65535 DEF SEG I later load the file I saved, with a file with only these commands: SCREEN 12 DEF SEG = &HA000 BLOAD "board.bsv" DEF SEG f$ = input$(1)'wait for key When I run the program,nothing shows up on the screen.What am I doing wrong? webpage: http://www.--*.com/ -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 G! d- s--:- a---- C++ ULU++++ P+ L+ E W++ N++ o K- w+ G e-- h! !r y- ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------

Brainsaw #2 / 5	Bload and bsave in screen 12 If that's all your code, then the problem is simple. You're BLOADing the graphic into an array, but after that, you're not doing anything with it! Use the PUT command to actually draw your picture after you've dimensioned your array and have loaded it. cheers, Brendon

The problem must be something else. Tom Lake ICQ #25589135

Brainsaw #4 / 5	Bload and bsave in screen 12 Yeah, I didn't think of that... I usually don't bother setting the segment to the video memory, I use DEF SEG = VARSEG(Array(0)) on the occasions that I do something like this. The only thing I can think of is if he might have drawn the graphic in a different screen mode than the one he is loading it into (I'm not looking at his code, so I don't know if this is true or not), or maybe it's a palette problem, although I kind of doubt that one. cheers, Brendon

William Y #5 / 5	Bload and bsave in screen 12 : I have these commands at the end of a program that draws stuff in screen : 12(these are the commands right after all the drawing): : DEF SEG = &HA000 : BSAVE "board.bsv", 0, 65535 : DEF SEG : I later load the file I saved, with a file with only these commands: : SCREEN 12 : DEF SEG = &HA000 : BLOAD "board.bsv" : DEF SEG : f$ = input$(1)'wait for key : When I run the program,nothing shows up on the screen.What am I doing wrong? This is a very common mistake, but you need to realize that SCREEN 12 has 4 - bit planes. What you're doing will work for SCREEN 13. Go to the ABC Archives and enter the EGA/VGA section of the page. There's a few examples in there to help you save/load the four bit planes properly. ABC Archives: http://www.basicguru.com/abc/ -- William Yu
