Screenshot not working

[SNIPERDUDE]

I am making a isometric tile based game, and I have the drawing of the map working.
But when I save the screenshot of the map, when I call the map to draw it an error appears saying the image was probably does not exist.

This only seems to happen when I make my map larger than 14 * 14 (each tile is about 66 * 33 px)

The reason I am trying to do this is so I can just call a screenshot to prevent lag when drawing the map

How can I avoid or fix this error?

Could you please post a sample of the code involving the problem. By the looks of it it seems you are having trouble with the pic module. Possible common reasons could be:

--You are not Pic Freeing and instead adding more resources each frame..
--You have several large images already loading and turing dosn't have enough space to create another image.

Anyway the exact error cant be known until you most a piece of the code.

Yea, here's the code. sorry I didn't comment, just ask if you need anything cleared up.
Oh yea, the first proc is to get the tiles from a tilemap.

code:

setscreen ("nobuttonbar, offscreenonly,graphics:max;max") var TileSprite : int := Pic.FileNew ("tiles.bmp") Pic.Draw (TileSprite, 0, 0, 0) var Map, mx, my, mb : int var Tiles : array 1 .. 40 of int var Grid : array 1 .. 100, 1 .. 100 of int var strLine : array 1 .. 100 of string var key : array char of boolean var file, maxD : int var n, k, t : int := 1 var scrollX, scrollY : int := 0 var Ex : boolean := false proc ReadTiles     for j : 0 .. 9         for i : 1 .. 4             Tiles ((j * 4) + i) := Pic.New (((i - 1) * 65) + 1, (j * 33) + 1, ((i - 1) * 65) + 64, (j * 33) + 32)         end for     end for end ReadTiles proc ReadMap     open : file, "testmap.txt", get     get : file, maxD     for j : 1 .. maxD         get : file, strLine (j)     end for     close : file     t := maxD     loop         exit when n > maxD         loop             exit when k > 3 * maxD             if strLine (n) (k) = "|" then;                 Grid (n, t) := strint (strLine (n) (k + 1) + strLine (n) (k + 2));                 t -= 1;             end if             k += 1         end loop         n += 1         k := 1         t := maxD     end loop end ReadMap proc DrawMap     drawfillbox (0, 0, maxx, maxy, 7)     for j : 1 .. maxD         for i : 1 .. maxD             Pic.Draw (Tiles (Grid (i, j)), (maxx div 2) - 33 + (i * 33) - ((j - 1) * 33) + scrollX, ((maxy div 2) + (maxD * 16)) - (i * 16) - ((j - 1) * 16) + scrollY, picMerge)         end for     end for     Map := Pic.New ((maxx div 2) - (maxD * 33) + 32, (maxy div 2) - (maxD * 16) + 16, (maxx div 2) + (maxD * 33) + 31, (maxy div 2) + (maxD * 16) + 16) end DrawMap proc Walk     Input.KeyDown (key)     Mouse.Where (mx, my, mb)         if my > maxy - 30 then         scrollY -= 5     end if     if my < 30 then         scrollY += 5     end if     if mx > maxx - 30 then         scrollX -= 5     end if     if mx < 30 then         scrollX += 5     end if     if key (KEY_ESC) then         Ex := true     end if end Walk ReadTiles ReadMap DrawMap loop     Walk     drawfillbox (0, 0, maxx, maxy, 7)     Pic.Draw (Map, (maxx div 2) - (Pic.Width (Map) div 2) + scrollX, (maxy div 2) - (Pic.Height (Map) div 2) + scrollY, 0)     View.Update     exit when Ex = true     delay (10) end loop

Why won't anyone help me?

so alone...

hello? Anyone?

Well Dude,

1. It's summertime so everyone's out having fun.
2. You did not attach tiles.bmp and testmap.txt.

[Mazer]

You're probably getting values outside of the window boundaries when you're calling Pic.New, and Turing probably doesn't like that.

You know, you could've just pasted that Pic.New line, or even pointed out that it was the relevant line. It's very likely that nobody replied because nobody cared to wade through the rest of that.

I know people don't like reading that much (I blame the lazy society that has become of us because of technology), but it is the only way one can fully understand my problem.

And no, it is not reading past the max coordinates. My guess is that turing just doesn't have that much memory.
I am going to try another method (saving mini pics and just tile them together)

Let me know if anyone has come up with a better solution

You know it would really helpful if you included the txt file and the images.
