Quake III Arena or Unreal Tournament? I seem to have taken a wrong turn and ended up in the 1990s.

We live at the arse-end of beyond - when our car's broke down in the past it's like having your legs cut off. You literally cannot go anywhere (without at least a three mile walk to the nearest ''convenience store'' and back).

It's perfectly sensible. Because all the people who work for HP, are aliens with ears for testicles.

We noticed a hell of a difference when we went from a 130HP diesel Mondeo, to a 160HP petrol Civic Type S. More ponies, and 300KG lighter than the Mondeo.
Insurance only went up by less than £10/month.
Sadly it's no cheaper to run a diesel any *snip*

BlitzMax LoadImage brainfart

18th November 2016

Hm, I think what I'll do is load the 1366x768 as a pixmap, paste it into a larger 1536x768 pixmap, then load it with LoadAnimImage in 256x256 segments. Bit of waste (a 170 pixel wide strip) down the right-hand side but it's probably the safest way*snip*

That's not big!
My game map is 3072x2048 - that's big! But at least I can break it up into 256x256 blocks.
So anyway, if I should really care about ancient hardware then what's the solution? I'm not sure that creating a 2048x2048 image *snip*

18th November 2016

That's what I suspected. But I've always used 1024x768 for game logic in the past, which divides neatly into 256x256 chunks. So any full-screen image, I've always drawn it like that instead of in one go.

<N00B QUESTION>
If you're to run in a 16/9 resolution, say, 1366x768, and want to have a background image that fills the whole screen, is it hardware-safe to just load a 1366x768 image, or should I be resizing it in Photyshop to something I can *snip*
