ok...wtf. On my better computer it still won't let me open the image

Failed to load image "menu_background.bmp." Reason: Can't fopen

(fopen is not a typo on my part)

hm, that's a possibility. But when I used folders the console gave me a different error. (cannot locate file) and such.

but yeh...here's the exact error code I'm getting:

Failed to create image, it's internal size is too high (2048x1024)

Ok, now I decided to just take them out of the folder, however i keeps giving me this "Image failed to create, internal size too big (size*) on the console that pops up along with my windows

what's it suppose to mean

yeh...i suspected it was that.

Anyways, thanks for the input guys. If this still doesn't work I'll just avoid all this trouble by taking the pictures out of the folders.

well, the spellings correct. except for the "/" on the path it like data\art\menu\.. but if I try to do that it gives me a bunch of warnings about

warning C4129: 'm' : unrecognized character escape sequence

any thoughts?

k thanks...guess I didn't check carefully enough. btw, it's possible to load images through folders right? I have the folder in the same directory as the application and I'm sure the path is correct but it keeps failing to load O_o

So, I'm trying to draw a menu screen. Here's the header file and the main.cpp:

Code: [Select]

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>


//declarations
#define MENU 1
#define GAME 2
#define END 3

int game_state = MENU;

sf::RenderWindow App(sf::VideoMode::GetMode(1), "SFML Window");

// GRAPHICS

int load_graphics_menu(void)
{

//menu background

sf::Image menu_background;
if (!menu_background.LoadFromFile("data/art/menu/menu_background.bmp"))
{
MessageBox(NULL,
  "Fail to load image from file",
  "Error",
  NULL);

return -1;
} //Load image

sf::Sprite spt_menu_background;
spt_menu_background.SetImage(menu_background);

//menu play button

sf::Image menu_playbutton;
if (!menu_playbutton.LoadFromFile("data/art/menu/menu_playbutton.bmp"))
{
MessageBox(NULL,
  "Fail to load image from file",
  "Error",
  NULL);

return -1;
} //Load image

sf::Sprite spt_menu_playbutton;
spt_menu_playbutton.SetImage(menu_playbutton);
spt_menu_playbutton.SetPosition(475.f, 235.f);

//menu play button highlighted

sf::Image menu_playbutton_hl;
if (!menu_playbutton_hl.LoadFromFile("data/art/menu/menu_playbutton_hl.bmp"))
{
MessageBox(NULL,
  "Fail to load image from file",
  "Error",
  NULL);

return -1;
} //Load image

sf::Sprite spt_menu_playbutton_hl;
spt_menu_playbutton_hl.SetImage(menu_playbutton_hl);
spt_menu_playbutton_hl.SetPosition(475.f, 235.f);

//menu instruction button

sf::Image menu_instructionbutton;
if (!menu_instructionbutton.LoadFromFile("data/art/menu/menu_instructionbutton.bmp"))
{
MessageBox(NULL,
  "Fail to load image from file",
  "Error",
  NULL);

return -1;
} //Load image

sf::Sprite spt_menu_instructionbutton;
spt_menu_instructionbutton.SetImage(menu_instructionbutton);
spt_menu_instructionbutton.SetPosition(426.f, 324.f);

//menu instruction button highlighted

sf::Image menu_instructionbutton_hl;
if (!menu_instructionbutton_hl.LoadFromFile("data/art/menu/menu_instructionbutton_hl.bmp"))
{
MessageBox(NULL,
  "Fail to load image from file",
  "Error",
  NULL);

return -1;
} //Load image

sf::Sprite spt_menu_instructionbutton_hl;
spt_menu_instructionbutton_hl.SetImage(menu_instructionbutton_hl);
spt_menu_instructionbutton_hl.SetPosition(426.f, 324.f);
//menu exit button

sf::Image menu_exitbutton;
if (!menu_exitbutton.LoadFromFile("data/art/menu/menu_exitbutton.bmp"))
{
MessageBox(NULL,
  "Fail to load image from file",
  "Error",
  NULL);

return -1;
} //Load image

sf::Sprite spt_menu_exitbutton;
spt_menu_exitbutton.SetImage(menu_exitbutton);
spt_menu_exitbutton.SetPosition(12.f, 580.f);

//menu exit button highlighted

sf::Image menu_exitbutton_hl;
if (!menu_exitbutton_hl.LoadFromFile("data/art/menu/menu_exitbutton_hl.bmp"))
{
MessageBox(NULL,
  "Fail to load image from file",
  "Error",
  NULL);

return -1;
} //Load image

sf::Sprite spt_menu_exitbutton_hl;
spt_menu_exitbutton_hl.SetImage(menu_exitbutton_hl);
spt_menu_exitbutton_hl.SetPosition(12.f, 580.f);

return 0;
}

//INPUT

int process_input_menu(void)
 
{
sf::Event Event;
    while (App.GetEvent(Event))
    {
        // Window closed
        if (Event.Type == sf::Event::Closed)
            App.Close();

        // Escape key pressed
        if ((Event.Type == sf::Event::KeyPressed) && (Event.Key.Code == sf::Key::Escape))
            App.Close();
    }
}


main.cpp

Code: [Select]

#include "UltrapingMenu.h"

int main()
{
sf::RenderWindow App(sf::VideoMode::GetMode(1), "SFML Window");

App.Create(sf::VideoMode(1024, 768, 32), "Ultraping", sf::Style::Fullscreen); //Windows creation...somehow, (1) works, (0) doesn't

load_graphics_menu();

while (App.IsOpened() && game_state == MENU)
{
process_input_menu();

App.Clear();

App.Draw(spt_menu_background);
App.Draw(spt_menu_playbutton);
App.Draw(spt_menu_instructionbutton);
App.Draw(spt_menu_exitbutton);

App.Display();
}

    return 0;
}

and here's the errors

Code: [Select]

Compiling...
main.cpp
.\main.cpp(17) : error C2065: 'spt_menu_background' : undeclared identifier
.\main.cpp(18) : error C2065: 'spt_menu_playbutton' : undeclared identifier
.\main.cpp(19) : error C2065: 'spt_menu_instructionbutton' : undeclared identifier
.\main.cpp(20) : error C2065: 'spt_menu_exitbutton' : undeclared identifier

it doesn't make any sense since I obviously declared these in my load_graphics_menu section...why do I keep getting this error?

Also, does anyone have any tips on optimizing my code? It's a bit cumbersome right now and I'm not sure how to do some things. for example, if I wanted to draw a seperate image the the mouse is hovering over the play button, how should I do that? I don't want to use pages of if and thens.
