createfile? Any commands like this for creating a file?

Does the file already exist ?  If so, you will need to delete the file first.

No you don't. You can save over a file at any time. I've made multiple map/level editors and never had to delete previously saved data.

Not received email Can you try mrijprice AT googlemail DOT com or iprice AT supanet DOT com again.

Hi, Just sent the project again. for some reason it won't let me send the zip file so i renamed the extension. Just rename the extension to zip when received.

Thanks for all the help.

Ok. Got the file and i see exactly where the problem lies.

You've used

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

SETCURRENTDIR("Media") // seperate media and binaries?
at the start of your program, but when saving you use -

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

LOCAL file$ = "..Media/data"+level+".map"

Remove the "...Media/" bit, as you've already specified the current folder.

Use -

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

LOCAL file$ = "data"+level+".map"
and it works fine

Arrrggggghhhh!

Thanks so much. So simple, yet drove me so mad.

BTW Separate post for separate assistance

You can replace this whole section of code

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

FOR xi = 0 TO mapwidth-1
FOR yi = 0 TO mapheight-1
IF map[xi][yi] = 0 THEN DRAWANIM 0,0,xi * 50, yi*50
IF map[xi][yi] = 1 THEN DRAWANIM 0,1,xi * 50, yi*50
IF map[xi][yi] = 2 THEN DRAWANIM 0,2,xi * 50, yi*50
IF map[xi][yi] = 3 THEN DRAWANIM 0,3,xi * 50, yi*50
IF map[xi][yi] = 4 THEN DRAWANIM 0,4,xi * 50, yi*50
IF map[xi][yi] = 5 THEN DRAWANIM 0,5,xi * 50, yi*50
IF map[xi][yi] = 6 THEN DRAWANIM 0,6,xi * 50, yi*50
IF map[xi][yi] = 7 THEN DRAWANIM 0,7,xi * 50, yi*50
IF map[xi][yi] = 8 THEN DRAWANIM 0,8,xi * 50, yi*50
IF map[xi][yi] = 9 THEN DRAWANIM 0,9,xi * 50, yi*50
IF map[xi][yi] = 10 THEN DRAWANIM 0,10,xi * 50, yi*50
IF map[xi][yi] = 11 THEN DRAWANIM 0,11,xi * 50, yi*50
IF map[xi][yi] = 12 THEN DRAWANIM 0,12,xi * 50, yi*50
IF map[xi][yi] = 13 THEN DRAWANIM 0,13,xi * 50, yi*50
IF map[xi][yi] = 14 THEN DRAWANIM 0,14,xi * 50, yi*50
IF map[xi][yi] = 15 THEN DRAWANIM 0,15,xi * 50, yi*50
NEXT
NEXT


With this -

Code (glbasic) Select Expand


FOR xi = 0 TO mapwidth-1
FOR yi = 0 TO mapheight-1
DRAWANIM 0,map[xi][yi],xi * 50, yi*50
NEXT
NEXT

That's a nice tip, thanks!

Really do appreciate it. Now to get on with my game. Ta!
