agk::SetCurrentDir("user/user");

when i get the current dir it says its pointing there but i can read data from it example:

agk::CreateSprite(agk::LoadImage("sprite.jpg"));
this creates a checkered image.

does not read from the parent dir or the dir that is currently being pointed at which is user/user. To make sure that it was not pointing to the current directory I checked for that.

Try agk::SetFolder(), SetCurrentDir has been deprecated.

same thing happened with that command I am confused. I wonder if it is because I am using c++ 2008 and a 32 bit computer. trying it on another computer. I tried it on another computer same thing on it also.

This may be a dumb question, but what directory is "sprite.jpg" in?

user/user directory and in user/ and in the media folder both places. would it have to do that all folders need premission from the administrater. this is the only other thing I can think of. because if those folders can't be accessed then that might do it. For some reason my folders on both computers are read only.

Read only should not cause a problem finding the image files.

But it would for trying to create a data/text/other file.

Any chance at seeing some of the code? That might help.

And what version of AppGameKit are you using?

If all your images are still in the media directory, try this:
agk::CreateSprite(agk::LoadImage("/media/sprite.jpg"));

I'm fairly certain that specifying a directory starting with '/' forces it relative to the game executable.

Sorry this took so long to respond, I went to bed just after my last post and was actually able to sleep in without interruption this morning.

wow ancient lady that did the job. adding a '/' in front of media works. agk::CreateSprite(agk::LoadImage("/media/sprite.jpg")); works that is so confussing. why you have to do this. This is such a wierd format that agk uses never seen it before. Oh never mind this goes off the root directory of media I had the same sprite in both folders.

I'm glad to be of help.

I tried variants of the SetCurrentDir and SetFolder and some strange results.

I need to do a couple of tests and post those results.
