SDL LoadBMP Problem

[eatcomics]

Wow... Still having problems with this??? So just a recap, make sure your bmp is in the folder that your executable/project file is in... Make sure your loading a bmp not a png, and that's all I can think of...

I tried the if !image and also the 0, 0 thing and it just quits.

Also confirm that you have all of the DLLs in the folder, just to make sure. Usually it tells you if you have one missing, but not always. I had this very same problem when I forgot to put libpng in the directory.

Here's a list of the dlls:

• jpeg.dll
  libpng12-0.dll
  libtiff-4.dll
  SDL.dll
  SDL_image.dll
  zlib1.dll

okay I just used source code from lazyfoo and it worked the same.
Vista? You think?

Nobody can really help you with this problem. We can't possibly tell you how to fix it when we don't know what's wrong, you're just going to have to play around with some settings, or maybe even just find a tutorial and reinstall your IDE while following that tutorial exactly. I'm sure it's something stupid you missed, it always is.

I wish there was more I could tell you, but the setup you've described should work perfectly, and if it doesn't you need to figure out what you didn't mention.

I tried the if !image ... and it just quits.

Then the image isn't being loaded.

[RandomDever]

It works! I just didn't know it because VC++ is stupid..
I opened up the exe manually and it worked fine wtf.
VC++ didn't open it correctly i guess.

[MarauderIIC]

Image has to be in same directory as source code when run through VC++. Image has to be in same directory as executable when executable is run manually.

[RandomDever]

Ahhh.
Спасибо
"thank you"

[MarauderIIC]

Reading through it, it looks like nobody was really clear about that. Sorry, I thought somebody had said it. eatcomics had it closest when he said "project folder". I'm assuming that "thank you" means it works now?

[RandomDever]

Yes it does. XD!
