Rotation

I have totaly failed at understanding how Rotation in BMax works

From what I could tell, using SetRotation would rotate all images drawn after that point, however, SetRotation appears to do absolutly nothing, I figured maybe I had to reload the images I wanted to rotate, like with SetMask, but this didnt work either

it does what it says, everything will be drawn rotated until another setrotation command is given.

It works fine here - maybe you're feeding it a float between 0 and 1, where you should be using an angle measured in degrees?

SetRotation changes the rotation of all following drawimage commands, thats correct. BUT: the angle you set is absolute, not relative to their previous angle, so if you want have a changing angle you need to have a variable that you raise.

SetRotation rotates the images around their handle which normally is the top left corner.

You don't need to reload or anything else.

but it isnt, I've tested!

TestImage = LoadImage("TS/Arrow.png")
Graphics 800,600
DrawImage TestImage, 1,1
Flip
Delay 1000
SetRotation (90)
Cls
DrawImage TestImage, 1,1
Flip
Delay 1000

After 1 second the screen goes black

aparently, SetRotation is causing DrawImage to do nothing

OMG I'm so stupid, the image was rotating off the screen

If I didnt beleive it would send me to hell, I would go and hang myself in stupidity right now

That code can't work.

You have to FIRST call graphics and load media afterwards. Graphics cleans all graphic data.

Aparently Graphics doesnt clean all graphics data as the image still worked, but the problem is fixed at any rate

Yes, it does work.

Not the case with DX or GL - try it and see.

I have done that in several ocations but I did noticed that on some graphics cards with certain resolution the image gets distorted. now to play it safe, first I call the graphics command. And maybe that got fixed with the newest version of BMAX.
