The Turing IMage File... it seems like a very awkward format. Unfortunately I'm doing a project in good ol' DOS Turing, and I don't know of any other method to load images. In the past, I've had troubles with colours being distorted when I try to display the image, so this time I'm using a basic 2-colour image. I can get it to display, but for unknown reasons, it won't display if I change the x-value of where to place the image on the screen. It only displays when the x-value is 0. Any one here ever work with TIM files before? Here's the code to read the file...

Wow dude! Hats off to you. Poor guy. Why are you still using classic turing? Seriously do yourself a favour and get WinOOT at least. Man oh man. lol. Well anyways. Now that that's over and done with. Oh ya, your problem. I've never used .TIM files but right off the bat I know your problem (*Whispers : Your using dos turing*) Buts thats ok I guess. maybe this line has something to do with it
because after all you are using an array, so therefore your should use an index of that array for example :
but then again you'd get an error because that parameter doesn't call for an integer does it. Hmmmm. I tried finding a version of DOS turing, but I couldn't. I'll try again but ya I dunno. Well I really hate saying, but dude.... your on your own ![]() |

Oh man...[lugs out ol' Classic Turing]... Now what...oh rite...I need a TIM file! Care to post one? Hopefully Delta already solved stuff for you...but in case, there still do exist other people with access to Classic Turing...sadly... |

I myself only upgraded to WinOOT this year, but I was using a newer old version of turing - see if the TM2 image type will work - here are the procedures for it:

Thanks for your help, but I'm using 7.05A and the TM2 files don't seem to work. A workaround to this problem which I'm using is to display the image when the program loads, and store it with takepic. Then I can display it wherever I want with drawpic. I still don't know why fileToScreen doesn't work properly. By the way, my school actually has OOT, but my teacher is worried about using the parallelport on the new computers. ![]() |

I think TM2 came out in 8.0, this should be a free upgrade from 7.x (if I recall). hmmm... just came back from the holt site, can't find the upgrade. Why is your teacher concerned about the parrallel port? |
