Pic ID Problem.

code:

type Unit :
record
intNumber : int

strName : string
strMovementType : string (1)
intMovement : int
intExp : int
intLevel : int
intFoodUpkeep, intGoldUpkeep, intManaUpkeep : int
intMaxHealth, intCurrentHealth : int
intAttack, intDefense : int
intCost : int

previous, next : pointer to Unit %Double linked list
end record

var unit : Unit

loop
put "Unit name:" ..
get unit.strName : *
if File.Exists ("Chars\\" + unit.strName + " 3x1.bmp") then
put "Exists"
var pic := Pic.FileNew ("Chars\\" + unit.strName + " 3x1.bmp")
Pic.Draw (pic, 250, 350, picCopy)
else
put "Doesn't Exist"
end if

end loop

The above should never crash. But it does, for SOME pictures. Anyone have any idea why?

I think I've figured it out. It has something to do with the size of the picture. Some of my pictures are 700 or so bytes, the others 3 kb. It crashes on the 700 byte ones.

Figured it out. You have to save your bitmaps into 24 bit type for them to work with turing. All done talking to myself for now:D

that's the same with OpenGL sprites. (remembers hell week of figuring out why a sprite wouldn't work)
