this way you can use the self same image you have of an item (even if it is full screen) just drag it onto the program....ico version done..work of genius

another one from the blitzbasic site tool box just in case folks had overlooked it :idea:

I just found an incredible site..for textures..objects, backgrounds..images..
Both real and some made in photoshop.so you know how real they look.:)
EVen some made in Paint by ppl who know how to manipulate Paint well

Also able to imbed graphics in Paint..This I'm very happy about.. :lol:

Graphics of furniture..lamps, everything from doorknobs to keys, to african masks..All sorts of stuff..

There are user agreements, but you are able to use them for both non-commercial and commercial, provided you don't sell games..OR sell images. I read the user agreements for each..and so far so good. But I don't sell my games..Or plan to sell images.

Of course you are able to use some for commercial selling projects.. only need permission..which is easily enough granted given its a site you sign into and can reach users by email..

Also tons of tutorials..

I'm not sure if this site is posted here or not..but here goes..:)

To download the file..You can choose download link..but I just clicked it once..and then right clicked it and "save image"..you can also open the image in another window and do the same thing..~Either way is downloading..:)

OH ya... :) What I meant to say was..that you can have commercial AM or NON Commercial AM...to use the pictures..provided you don't sell games...or sell pictures..That's what I meant by noncommercial and commercial.."Version" of AM...LOL..

Since my last post was in January, I allow myself to double post in this case :P

Psionic has released some short loops and sound effects which can be used in noncommercial and commercial projects; make sure you read the ReadMe file (part of the zip file with the sounds) to inform yourself about the usage rights.

Hi! I'm new here, and i need a little help about "absolute sounds effects";
if I want to download a sound effect for insert it in my game, i have to download it in MP3 or in WAV? :?:

PostPosted: Mon Feb 27, 2012 10:15 pm
by reneuend
Hi and welcome Maya!

Wav and MP3 both work for building games.

Personally, I prefer MP3.

PostPosted: Tue Feb 28, 2012 2:42 pm

Thank you very much, reneuend. :D
I think than I'll use MP3, i think than it's better.
