Well you have to make sure it's a .png or a .jpg image type first. I know you can defiantly pictures over 1000x1000 pixels to load in luaplayer, but it'd be better to tile it. You've probably loaded the image the wrong way.

it will probably crash if you try to load a really big picture.

Over 3000x3000 would most likely crash it, 1000x1000 is about as far as you want to go.

Altair managed quite a big picture for redalua, but it was in low quality. Agaska also did have quite a big picture, but used the tileing technique for GTA2lua.

The tileing technique is when you get close to another part of the map, then it'll appear and things you are far away from will be cleared from the memory, and then later reblitted when they are in range.

Smart idea I thought.

Wow, I need to learn how to do that, I didn't kno such a thing existed being the noob programmer I am. Iz there a tutorial on this. That tek-neek seems like it could come in handy.

I don't think there's a tutorial on it, but say if something comes within 300 pixels ofthe x coordinate of your player then it with screen:blit(x,y,whatever) and thing behind clears.

*whatever*:clear() .

Oh ok, i'll figure it out using your example, thanx. I think I get it. I'm gonna test it out on something.
