Graphics / Re: xcode image loading error

Ohh wow that's a pretty silly mistake, but thanks a lot! It finally works now. Is there any reason why I need to use the whole path? As the book I'm reading doesn't say or notice this. And is there a way around this?

Graphics / Re: xcode image loading error

« on: February 04, 2018, 02:48:35 pm »

the code:

if (!mTexture.loadFromFile("Media/Textures/Eagle.png"))
mFont.loadFromFile("Media/Sansation.ttf");

folder structure:
*project name* contains [ExternalLibraries], [Media], [*project name], [.xcodeproj file]
media contains Sansation.ttf and [Textures]
Textures folder contains Eagle.png

I tried the whole path, which is:
if (!mTexture.loadFromFile("/Users/Prummi/Desktop/dev/C++/SFML/SFML Game Development Book/Media/Textures"))
but this didn't work. It gave me the same error (unable to open file)

Graphics / xcode image loading error

« on: February 04, 2018, 11:46:06 am »

Hello,

I bought a book (SFML game development) and I can't get trough the first chapter. I need to load an image and a font but both of them won't load. The errors;

Failed to load image "Media/Textures/Eagle.png". Reason: Unable to open file
Failed to load font "Media/Sansation.ttf" (failed to create the font face)

I work in xCode. I don't know if this could be the problem but this is how I worked;
- I made a folder in finder called Media, in which I put the Textures map and put it all in (without involving xcode).

I made sure that hide file extension is checked off. I tried to put the Media folder in the folder in which the *projectName*.xcodeproj is, and in the folder where the files are but both ways didn't work.

Could anyone help me out please?
