SDL LoadBMP Problem

Re: SDL LoadBMP Problem
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...

Re: SDL LoadBMP Problem
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.

Re: SDL LoadBMP Problem
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.

Re: SDL LoadBMP Problem
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.

Re: SDL LoadBMP Problem
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.

Re: SDL LoadBMP Problem
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?
