Author Topic: which image types work with "image.LoadFromFile()" (Read 2650 times)

I'm having trouble getting sprites to work, and I suspect it has something to do with trying to load a ".png" file. What image files are supported?

Why do you suspect that? Is LoadFromFile failing? (it will return false if it fails)

8 bit pngs are supported

the console is saying that the file failed to open

PNGs are supported and always have been supported. What is the exact error that is being given? Does the file you are trying to load exist?

Yes it exists. It is in the same folder as the .exe is to be put. Is that the right place?

The exact error is: failed to load image "black_piece.png". Reason : Unable to open file

The program can't find the file. Your IDE probably does not have its working directory set to the right place. Either change the working directory or move your assets to the current one (probably where the project file is).

Moving it to where the project file is worked. Thank you.
