Hacing a small problem here. Incbin is not working if I use a framework.

Code:


SuperStrict

Framework brl.max2d
Import brl.d3d7max2d
Import brl.standardio
Import brl.System
Import brl.event
Import brl.eventqueue
Import brl.Blitz
Import brl.basic

SetGraphicsDriver D3D7Max2DDriver()
'SetGraphicsDriver GLMax2DDriver()
Graphics( 640,480 )

Incbin "test2.png"

Local p1:TPixmap = LoadPixmap("incbin::test2.png")
'Local p1:TImage = LoadImage("incbin::icon_folder_sm.jpg")

Print p1.width
Repeat
	Cls
	SetColor 255,255,255
	'DrawImage p1,10,10
	DrawPixmap p1,10,10
	
	DrawRect 50,50,5,5
	
	Flip
	
	WaitEvent()
	If AppTerminate() Then End
Forever

I may be missing some Mod to import, but not sure which one since brl.blitz is where Incbin resides.

Ideas? I've tried upgrading Blitzmax 1.42, and tried switching the driver (which led to me finding a bug), and tried to test if the image was corrupt (its not).

When using the max2d framework, you also need to import brl.pngloader to be able to use png images.

THanks, i knew it was something my half-brain was missing.

Just to clarify, when not using a framework, I believe BlitzMax imports all modules, or at least all the brl modules. However, when you do use a framework, it only loads the modules specified by that framework, so anything else must be imported.

I figured, thanks, but am actually having a major problem with incbin in a larger program, so am at my wits end.

Is there another way to include binary files other than incbin?

Could you post some code so we could see the problem?

I can now, as I've finally replicated the problem in a smaller set of code.


SuperStrict

Framework brl.blitz
Import maxgui.win32maxguiex
Import brl.pngloader

'Import MaxGUI.maxgui
'Import brl.Max2d
'Import pub.openGL
'Import BRL.D3D7Max2D
Import BRL.GLMax2D
Import BRL.EventQueue
Import BRL.Event
Import BRL.Timer
Import brl.threads
Import brl.math
Import brl.blitz
'Import bah.freeimage 
'Import brl.jpgloader

'Import brl.bmploader
Import brl.Pixmap

'SetGraphicsDriver D3D7Max2DDriver()
SetGraphicsDriver GLMax2DDriver()
Graphics( 640,480 )

Incbin "test2.png"

'Local p1:TPixmap = LoadPixmapPNG("incbin::test2.png")
Local p1:TPixmap = LoadPixmap("incbin::test2.png")
'Local p1:TImage = LoadImage("incbin::icon_folder_sm.jpg")

'Print Long( IncbinPtr("incbin::test2.png"))
Print p1.width
Repeat
	Cls
	SetColor 255,255,255
	'DrawImage p1,10,10
	DrawPixmap p1,10,10
	
	DrawRect 50,50,5,5
	
	Flip
	
	WaitEvent()
	If AppTerminate() Then End
Forever

The original code was using bah.freeimage, but it seems I've managed to replicate the problem:
It's the order of the imports/framework.

Very strange, and it's taken quite a while to isolate the problem.

AHA! got it, I needed to import max2d BEFORE the png or freeimage modules....

wow, took a couple days.... ugh

thanks for your encouragement.

Glad you got it sorted.

You may want to try Framework Assistant, it's pretty good at auto-generating the list of imports necessary for your program.

How on earth do you determin which part of Blitz you need to Import?

i like the idea of beig able to shrink the file
