LÖVE

Hello there, first things first, here is the faulty .love file : http://filesmelt.com/dl/decker.love

Basically, it works very well when it's contents are executed separately (when ran with ZeroBrane, for example), but if ran as a .love file (or a fused exe, it doesn't matter), it outputs this error :



Every step of the game distribution tutorial were followed very precisely, the .love was originally a .zip and the .zip's contents are main, conf and the game resources.

I can't think of anything faulty here, except maybe for dofile's behavior, but I'd prefer if this was not the case...

If you people could help me find why this doesn't work, I'd be very thankful

I suspect it's confused because you're attempting to load it from a different folder.

This seems to work fine though:

This seems to work fine though:

Code: Select all

rawMaps[k] = love.filesystem.load("maps/"..v)()

Hmm, yes, I had trouble with all those load functions before, which is why I settled for dofile(), but I will try out this one and post the results.



EDIT :

It worked out very well, thanks a lot ! Next time, I'll be more wary of which function I use, I suspect dofile() uses the wrong relative path after all :v

Yeah, Lua's built-in dofile and loadfile don't know about love.filesystem's read directories (and they don't use platform-independent filepaths either.) The require function and love.filesystem.load both work fine though. You should usually use the require function (e.g. require("maps.testmap")) unless the file's contents might change while the game is running.
