DrawImage before scene starts / loads ?

[dennis]

Hello all,

 

How can I load a image before I start a scene?

 

already have this:

 

 

img = LoadTexture("abstract::tbh.dds")
DrawImage(img, 0, 0, 1440, 900)
scene = LoadScene("abstract::bannedisland_1.2.sbx")
Collisions(COLLISION_PROP,COLLISION_SCENE,1)

 

can I do this before:

While Key(KEY_ESCAPE) ==0 do

end

or do I need to do it within the while... ?

 

cheers!

After DrawImage, Flip().

 

I also do Update and Render Framework, but I don't know if that is necessary. I have an intro function that is called 5 times in the game loading before the main loop. It draws a background, some icons and my progress bar, along with Flip, Update and Render framework. Each of the 5 calls updates the loading progress bar.

thanks it loads the image now, but won't show it, why?

I used:

 

 

SetBlend(1)
img = LoadTexture("abstract::tbh.dds")
DrawImage(img,0,0,800,600)
SetBlend(0)
Flip(0)

 

And

 

img = LoadTexture("abstract::tbh.dds")
DrawImage(img,0,0,800,600)
Flip(0)

 

How can I show up my image? at least the background is changed colors from gray to black

like clackdor mentioned, use the framework render as well...

 

fw:Render()
SetBlend(1)
img = LoadTexture("abstract::tbh.dds")
DrawImage(img,0,0,800,600)
SetBlend(0)
Flip(0)

In the DrawImage command, change 600 to -600 maybe. I remember you had to do that for nvidia cards, but no idea if that's still the case...
