love.graphics.newImage

[feather240]

Can I get a little help? No matter what I do with my code I'm told my image file doesn't exist.

main.lua

Code: Select all

function love.load()
	require("tile")
	
	map = 
	{
	width = 120,
	height = 240,
	x = 0,
	y = 0,
	layout = map_generate(layout)
	}
	
	tilesetBatch = love.graphics.newSpriteBatch(tileset.set, (tileset.Width / tileset.QuadWidth), (tileset.Height / tileset.QuadHeight))
end
function love.draw()
	require("blit")
end

tile.lua

Code: Select all

tileset = 
	{
	set = love.graphics.newImage("tileset.png"), --Tileset to be used
	QuadWidth = 8, --The width of a blit piece
	QuadHeight = 16, --The height of a blit piece
	Width = 128, --The width of the tileset
	Height = 256, --The height of the tileset
	}

This is the line that is causing the problems.

Code: Select all

set = love.graphics.newImage("tileset.png"), --Tileset to be used

Here's the error message.

Code: Select all

Error

Could not open file tileset.png. Does not exist.

Here's a picture of my folder so you can see the files.

Are you running main.love or or the entire folder? You'll need to include the image in your .love file, if you're not already.

I'm running "main.love". How would I include the image or run the entire folder?

No wonder you're having trouble. To make a .love file, you need to select all the files and folders in the directory that main.lua resides in, and zip them up. See Game Distribution. A better way to run it while in development, is to run the folder as I mentioned. To do this, you can either drag the folder to love.exe, or, if you've set up the command line in Windows, you can execute:

Code: Select all

love path\to\your\epic\game

Which means if your current directory is the folder of the game, you can execute:

Code: Select all

love .

Okay, that makes a lot more sense. Thanks. Now to continue bug testing.
