General / Re: Reason: Unable to open file

« on: July 05, 2021, 07:55:29 am »

I don't know if the working directory is the issue because I've tried the full location of the file too and it gave the same error, and I am sure that's the file's

    sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800, 800), "Chess"); //calls a window
    window.setVerticalSyncEnabled(true);
    sf::Texture t1;
    t1.loadFromFile("C:/Users/jagdr/Downloads/Code/SFML Chess/Debug/Images/board.jpg");
    sf::Sprite board(t1);
 

name.

But if that is the issue how can I change the working directory?

General / Reason: Unable to open file

« on: July 04, 2021, 05:53:47 am »

I keep getting this error when I try to use "IncludeFromFile" for a sprite texture. I've tried to change the directory from shortened to full and change the picture just in case but it doesn't load the image.

I feel it is a mistake on my end like a mistake in calling the file or linking as I'm relatively new to both sfml and C++.

I'm using Visual studio 2019, and running a debug

   
int main()
{
    sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800, 800), "Game"); //calls a window
    window.setVerticalSyncEnabled(true);
    sf::Texture t1;
    t1.loadFromFile("Images/whitePawn.png");
    sf::Sprite board(t1);

    while (window.isOpen())
    {
        sf::Event event;
        while (window.pollEvent(event))
        {
            if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                window.close();
   
        }

        window.clear(); //set black
        window.draw(board); //draw whats needed
        window.display(); //reset for new frame

    }
 

I hope someone can help  , Thanks in advance
