ok so i did everything this guy on sbs said to do in terms of loading map and such (but instead of mapname i did mapice because thats the map i want) and it listed a error did i do something wrong

You don't have a TO for the FOR loop. And you didn't add a NEXT to end the FOR loop.

it says the error is in one also did i do correctly?

No. It's FOR I=0 TO 1 or TO I=1, one of those two.

but everything else is ok?

I think the 0 in DIM should be [0] not (0). Other than that, it's fine, but it's a little different from what I do, so you might have to tinker a little.

well thanks for the help

It worked, right?

its saying its in 3 now i just did a test run

Um, you forgot the TO I=1. Just put it right after the FOR I=0.

same or different line

Same line. FOR I=0 TO I=1, that order

type mismatch in 0:4 (i added a underscore between map and ice because thats what the file actuall file name and forgot i added)

Ooooohhhhhhh. I now see what's wrong. The BGLOAD needs to be LOAD instead. and BGLOAD should be in that tutorial you were watching.

i was actually reading it so 1 it lied (to an extended) and 2 what do you do with bgload

it lies!! i renamed it so it fits and it still lies!! also i found out that you dont need the sc_ and_L things

This is how I do map code. (ignore the comments) sorry for the late reply.

will this work if i added the sprite movement stuff on to this? also it works it still listed at file cannot be found

Let me see your code. And yes, once you load the map, there's nothing to bother about map-wise.

here ya go

It said the error is on line 5? If so, try putting "DAT:SC_STR_MAPICE_L0" in the quotes for LOAD.

still lists error

I honestly don't know then. The only thing I can think of is that you got the map name wrong, but that's all I can do for you.

i modifyed the name of it multiple times to fit the code if you dont then your in the same boat as i and i welcome you lol

Try posting this again, I'm sure someone else will jump in to help you. I'll bet it will be the most obvious mistake that couldn't see through.
