Hi,

Here is my curious problem:

My RPG game works well while broadcasting on the device. All the images are displayed correctly.

But when I compile the app and install the APK, some background images (size 1024x300, 1024x1024) are not displayed. I've a cross instead.

How can it be?
Someone understand what it can be?

Thanks for your help.

1. What version of AppGameKit are you using?
2. Are you working in Tier 1 or Tier 2?
3. Did you put your media in the <yourandroidproj>/assets/media directory?
4. Are you sure that the actual names of the files and the code you are loading them with are using exactly the same names, especially the same case?
5. Are you by any chance using .bmp files instead of .jpg or .png? (Android doesn't support .bmp)

Cheers,

It is most likely case sensitivity as Ancient Lady suggests, or bmp files as they do not work on android. Also be careful with non power of 2 images such as the 1024x300 one you mention, as in some cases it will give you problems. UV scrolling and animations will have issues on non power of 2 sizes. I do it now for all sprites just to be certain of no problems later on, although it can be a pain as you can end up with more blank space than you would like just to get it into the right dimensions.

Thanks to you 2!
The problem was the non power 2 images or the case sensibility.

I use now some "tiles" sized 256x324 named with lowercase only and it's Ok as you can see on the screenshot:

Isn't it great when you can help just by asking questions?

Happy Programming!
