So I have used this command a bunch of time. I works fine in every other instant of the program, but I am getting an error on this 1 line that I just can't shake.

media folder contains guy.png and guy subimages.txt

guy subimages says:


and program says:



I don't know what I'm doing wrong?

i have renamed the png, renamed the subimages in the txt file, renamed the loaded image, renamed the subimage in the program, verified the img type and txt document.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I find it odd that you have no image format extension in the subimages. Surely you create the sprite-sheet with a bunch of .png images, so the accompanying text-file should read something similar to

guy1.png:0:0:32:32
guy2.png:32:0:32:32
guy3.png:64:0:32:32
guy4.png:96:0:32:32

Not sure if AppGameKit accepts imagefiles without the correct extension. Anyhow, get that sorted, and load them up with



As an aside, it is worth remembering that AppGameKit is a bit odd in regards to arrays. In all other languages, the array definition gives max numbers of indexes and actual counting is done from index 0.

So in for instance C/C++/C# or Go you'd assign 4 indexes to the array and count 0 to 3. AppGameKit however sets highest index. Which in your code means you'll have 5 indexes, filling index 1 through 4 and have an empty index 0.

Make sure you didn't accidently add two spaces between guy and subimages for example. AppGameKit gets confused in that situation. Also check that any file name doesn't contain any other characters that might be difficult to see. So rename both files and make sure to retype every character.

Dybing, I created a spritesheet. All 4 images are cropped from 1 atlas image, not 4 separate png files. While your suggestion works perfectly, i dont want 300 separate image files, nor do i want file names overlapping.

Fluorescent, thanks. I will just retype the txt files from scratch, since they are so short. Maybe that will solve the issue. I'll follow up asap. Thanks, guys, for the feedback!

Oh my....

2 spaces in the guy subimages.txt AND girl subimages.txt!!!!!!!!!

works now. I'm sorry for wasting your time. I can't even begin to rationalize how I did this, nor the amount of time I spent trying to make it work. @Fluorescent you are a life saver.
