Hello,

I'm creating a quite simple countdown clock for a project I'm doing. I use 3DGS A7 Educational for the programming and A8 free for the compiling. What I want is run the program in video_screen = 1(fullscreen), but then the mouse cursor is gone. So I did set the mouse_map to a 32x32 ARGB 32-bit .tga file but then if I run it, it says Acknex.exe stopped working, if I compiled it, it says countdown2.exe. It does this in A7 and A8.

FYI: I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium

the code where I set the mouse_map


Can anyone help me?

You cannot set the BMAP to a string.

try this:

BMAP *mouseCursor = "mouse.tga";

function main(){
video_screen = 1;
mouse_mode = 4;
mouse_map = mouseCursor ;
}

Hi,

You need to pass a BMAP pointer, not a string.

Thanks for the fast reply and it worked

Got a new problem now, most of the time it starts with a white square around the mouse pointer where the alpha of the tga file is 0. I don't know what caused this, it worked and then without changes to the mouse_map it started doing this

you can use a PNG file as well - if it's just for a cursor image, it's okay. That will fix your alpha problem

Running the program in native resolution of my screen for now seems the solution. I ask again when I need more help.
