Textures not loading, and I tried EVERYTHING
« on: December 08, 2020, 01:04:16 am »
Yes, I included the file type (png), yes I tried making a sprite, yes I have it in the same folder as the "Source.cpp" file. I am getting so frustrated as I have wasted the past hour or so trying to figure out why it is doing this. I am thinking it might be the way I linked the project? The thing is, though, every other type of code works with these project settings, EXCEPT adding textures.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <SFML/Window.hpp>
#include <SFML/System.hpp>

int main()
{
        sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800, 800), "Good");
        sf::Texture texture;
        texture.loadFromFile("sfml logo.png");
        sf::Sprite sprite;
        sprite.setTexture(texture);
        sprite.setColor(sf::Color::Red);

        while (window.isOpen())
        {
                sf::Event ev;
                while (window.pollEvent(ev))
                {
                        if (ev.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                        {
                                window.close();
                        }
                }
                window.clear();
                window.draw(sprite);
                window.display();
        }
}

Any error message? Something in the console? Have you tried checking the return value of loadFromFile?
WTF happens when you run your code... we don't know

I get the usual unhandled exception error with the random symbols in the console, the usual error you get when the compiler can't recognize the texture file.

Random symbols in the console usually happens when you're mixing debug and release. (when you're using the release version of SFML but compiling in debug mode, or debug version and compiling in release mode)
