I have a quick question. When I try to run a paint on an advanced monitor I get the following error.

bios:339: [string "start"]:6: '=' expected

Anyone know what I can do to show a paint on an Advanced Monitor?

You're using "monitor (side) paint", right?

Wouldn't work, you need to pass the filename (e.g. monitor right paint myPicture)

Well I've got the paint done, but I just want to show the painted image on my monitors.

Lol, yeah that won't work. The picture is just that, a picture, not a program. You'll have to do something like this.


term.redirect(peripheral.wrap"monitor side")
paintutils.drawImage(paintutils.loadImage"imagePath")
term.restore()
