Visual C++ Questions
« on: January 14, 2009, 04:51:14 am »
Hey guys, I recently switched from CodeBlocks and MinGW to Visual C++ Express 2008. But I've been running into some problems with the current code I have.

1. Where do I put the SFML_DYNAMIC macro? The image in the tutorial doesn't show so I don't know where to put it.

2. Right now I'm linking against the static libs so I can get some work done, till I fix issue #1 but when I try to load an image, it says can't be found. I've manually checked to see if that image is there but the program can't find it.

Here is my code so you can see how I'm doing my image loading.

Code: [Select]

#include <iostream>

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

int main()
{
    //Create the window of the application
    sf::RenderWindow App(sf::VideoMode(1024, 728, 32), "GunKnights");

    //Set the frame rate
    App.SetFramerateLimit(60);

    //Ground Image
    sf::Image groundImage;

    //Load the ground image
    if (!groundImage.LoadFromFile("gfx\\maps.png"))
{
std::cout << "Error loading maps.png" << std::endl;
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}

    //Create a ground sprite
    sf::Sprite ground(groundImage);

    //Set the position of the ground image
    //ground.SetPosition(0, App.GetHeight() - ground.GetSize().y);

    bool IsPlaying = true;
    while (App.IsOpened())
    {
        sf::Event Event;
        while (App.GetEvent(Event))
        {
            //Window closed or escape key pressed : exit
            if ((Event.Type == sf::Event::Closed) ||
                ((Event.Type == sf::Event::KeyPressed) && (Event.Key.Code == sf::Key::Escape)))
            {
                App.Close();
                break;
            }
        }

        if (IsPlaying)
        {
        }

        //Clear the Window
        App.Clear(sf::Color(100, 149, 237, 100));

        //Draw the ground image
        App.Draw(ground);

        App.Display();
    }

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}


If anyone can help me fix the following problems, I would really appreciate it!

Thanks,
YellowShadow

1. Please don't duplicate your questions in multiple topics

2. Your working directory is probably not the one containing the executable. This can happen when you launch your program from the Visual Studio. It can be setup in your project's properties, in "Debugging" --> "Working Directory". Just set it to $(TargetDir).

I did set my working directory to that, yet I get the same error. I tried cleaning and rebuilding the project but still I get the same error when I run the game.

Does it work when you launch your executable directly (i.e. not from Visual Studio)?

If you leave the Working Directory field blank and put your image in the same directory as the .sln-file you should be able to use this path:

"./your_image.png"

Well, this is not the standard output. The standard output is the console ; if you created a Win32 project (and thus don't have a console) you can either activate it in the project's settings, or redirect std::cerr to a file.

The Visual Studio output shows a crash, is it related to your problem or is it happening after the image loading failure?

The console says failed to load image and it's says something about fopen.

The crash happens after the image loading.

I think SFML only supports 8-bit .png files

Try to add this to your code:
system("echo %cd%");
It'll print out the working directory. You need to put your resources there.

Can you post that "something" here?
I still think this is a path problem.
