Am i supposed to on the fly by myself change stuff or why most of examples don't work ?

Well error is at line 82 to 86, failed to initialise sprite.

How can i learn PB with this error poping up on every second example that i try...

Actually, trying to work out why a piece of code does not work is a very good way to learn a language!

I think the IDE is probably telling you what is wrong.

In the message box: [ERROR] The specified #Sprite is not initialised

At line 23, a '!' highlight flag.

The path to the sprite image file 'PureBasicLogo.bmp' needs to be edited to either where that bmp really is on your PC (for example, on my PC: "C:\Program Files\PureBasic460\Examples\Sources\Data\PureBasicLogo.bmp"), or a path to your own image file.

I edited the path before i posted, to desktop location of a sprite of my own, where i also saved the example, but it's still exactly the same error, except that now the sprite location is not error but is working.

EDIT: So png doesn't work i guess... is there any way to load a .png format out there ?

Hi Primoz128, I will try and help as much as i can!

To use png image's you must first call "UsePNGImageDecoder()"
This then will decode the png format and display them.

Show me the code that you are using and i will sort it for you.

i should have posted before you did, cause i found how to get this to work using the same function you posted .

PB rocks: Smallest language of all; i think maybe fastest too <.< if not it has inline assembly so it must be; community <.< :O.

Glad you got it working

P.N.

And whats the difference between UsePNGImageDecoder() and Encoder ?

Again: It's all in the help file... UseXXXDecoder() for loading, UseXXXEncoder() for saving when using LoadImage() / SaveImage() (or LoadSound() etc.).
