Love2D can't find my files

[Afrricyn]

When I tried to make a font within my game it said that it could open my Font file even though it was in the correct place and even with audio files it can't seem to find my audio file as well.

This is the Audio code, I have also tried changing the path to sounds/name.wav - as the file sounds is with the main.lua file

Code: Select all

    sounds = {
        ["PongSE"] = love.audio.newSource("D:/VS - LUA/pong/sounds/PongSE.wav", "static"),
        ["win"] = love.audio.newSource("D:/VS - LUA/pong/sounds/win.wav","static"),
        ["wallhit"] = love.audio.newSource("D:/VS - LUA/pong/sounds/wallhit.wav", "static")
    }

This is my file directory

So you tried this and it didn't work?:

Code: Select all

sounds = {
        ["PongSE"] = love.audio.newSource("sounds/PongSE.wav", "static"),
        ["win"] = love.audio.newSource("sounds/win.wav","static"),
        ["wallhit"] = love.audio.newSource("sounds/wallhit.wav", "static")
    }

Could you post a screenshot of the error, please?

Is it possible that you're running main.love instead of main.lua, and that main.love does not have the files? What happens if you remove main.love and run Löve passing the folder as argument?

Yes, That's most likely the issue. How do I run Love and pass the folder as an argument?

Alternatively, the way i like to do it: put the bold line, including quote marks, below, into an empty text file using notepad or your code editor of choice, change the paths to point to where your love.exe (or lovec.exe if you always want to have a command line open) is, and to where your project's folder/directory is. Not main.lua, the directory it is in.

"C:\Program Files\LOVE\love.exe" "C:\games\mygame"

save it as whatever, but i personally prefer to call it "mygame.bat" or just simply "run.bat"

doubleclicking that should work, no matter where that file is.

Ye, Thanks all. Managed to fix the issue.
