An example how to load TGA files directly from internet:
Include "transporter.bb" file% = OpenRemoteFile("http://www.oat.ee/andres/oval.tga") If Not file% Then RuntimeError "Unable to open the file!" Graphics 800, 600, 32, 2 SetBuffer BackBuffer() ; Read TGA header IDLenght% = ReadRemoteByte(file%) ColorMapType% = ReadRemoteByte(file%) ImageType% = ReadRemoteByte(file%) ColorMapIndex% = ReadRemoteShort(file%) ColorMapEntries% = ReadRemoteShort(file%) ColorMapSize% = ReadRemoteByte(file%) Xhandle% = ReadRemoteShort(file%) YHandle% = ReadRemoteShort(file%) Width% = ReadRemoteShort(file%) Height% = ReadRemoteShort(file%) BPP% = ReadRemoteByte(file%) Attributes% = ReadRemoteByte(file%) ImageID$ = "" For i = 1 To IDLenght ImageID$ = ImageID$ + Chr(ReadRemoteByte(file%)) Next ; Read TGA body image% = CreateImage(Width%, Height%) LockBuffer ImageBuffer(image%) For y = 0 To Height% - 1 For x = 0 To Width% - 1 b% = ReadRemoteByte(file%) g% = ReadRemoteByte(file%) r% = ReadRemoteByte(file%) a% = ReadRemoteByte(file%) WritePixelFast x, height% - y - 1, (b% Or (g% Shl 8) Or (r% Shl 16) Or ($FF000000)), ImageBuffer(image%) Next Next UnlockBuffer ImageBuffer(image%) CloseRemoteFile(file%) ; Display the received image While Not KeyHit(1) Cls DrawImage image%, MouseX(), MouseY() Flip Wend
