Where to put images and sound?
BlitzPlus Forums/BlitzPlus Beginners Area/Where to put images and sound?
| ||
| What folder should I put my images and sound files in? My program is located in C: > Game. Please help! |
| ||
| C:/Game/graphics C:/Game/sounds |
| ||
| thanks! |
| ||
| Just do not hardcode the locations, or you will run into issues. |
| ||
| Can you please explain the "Hardcode" thing? |
| ||
| If you save your images in a folder called c:\game\graphics then you can access them by doing mysprite = LoadImage("graphics\thesprite.png") Thats the recommended way hardcoding would be using the full path mysprite = LoadImage("c:\game\graphics\thesprite.png") which is not recommended because if the player moved the folder to the d:\ drive it won't find the graphics |
| ||
| ^what he said^ GfK's answer was correct to the specific question asked, but you want to load them as okee has shown to avoid any issues on your end users system. |
| ||
| Won't work, keeps returning "Invalid Image Handle". I have the image done as LoadImage("Graphics/image.jpg"). |
| ||
| Debug log highlights my DrawImage(image,100,100), not the LoadImage |
| ||
| Now its just blank |
| ||
| If you're getting that error on DrawImage, then LoadImage failed to load the image. In other words, the image is not where you're telling the program it is. You should have a folder called "Graphics" alongside your .bb file (or is it .bp for Blitzplus?), with image.jpg inside it. |
| ||
| Thanks for the clarification! |
| ||
| I do, but the screen stays blank |
| ||
| Post some code. Most likely you have forgotten to flip the backbuffer into view. |

| i fixed it |
