Title: Problems loading Images
Post by: Pwndja on September 17, 2007, 03:48:28 am

I figured out a solution to loading some images.
The problem: I was trying trying to load a .jpg image in my program and i kept getting this run time error "Fail to load image '{directory}/image.jpg'"
The solution: I had forgotten that I originally saved the image as a png, and then just changed the extension to .jpg for testing if sfml would load different images for me... So since i had changed the image via just changing the extention sfml could not read the image because it was not formated to be a .jpg, so I just opened the image up in paint.NET and saved as the image as a .jpg and that did the trick.

Now my program loads the .jpg fine...

Hope this helps anyone who might of had the same problem.

Yes, I'm having the same problem. I've tried to resave it as another format in photoshop but it still gives me the error (and I have all the extlibs dlls in the folder, etc...). :< I've even tried making my own image and load it but it still doesn't work.

It worked with SFML-1.1 but then I updated to the SVN version because glu.h stopped working. :(
