Error handling

I'm working on getting some animations to work (specifically the same little.. uh... thing I've got in my avatar) - but it's not working yet.

The main problem is that the error is very vague.
[2012-05-27 11:34:55] <DISPLAY> (orxTexture_CreateFromFile() - f:workspaceorxcodesrcdisplayorxtexture.c:428) Failed to load bitmap and link it to texture.

I'm sure there's a perfectly valid reason for this error. The problem is, apart for the fact that 'something is wrong with the loading of the texture' - it's not telling me much.
[Player]
ChildList	= PlayerGraphics

[PlayerPivot]
Pivot		= (16.0, 16.0, 0.0)

[PlayerGraphics@PlayerPivot]
AnimationSet	= PlayerAnimSet

[PlayerFullGraphics@PlayerPivot]
Texture		= ../data/Player/Playerstrip.png
TextureSize	= (32, 32, 0)


[PlayerAnimSet]
AnimationList	= Walk
LinkList	= WalkLoop

[WalkLoop]
Source		= Walk
Destination	= Walk

[Walk]
DefaultKeyDuration   = 0.1
KeyData1             = Walk1
KeyData2             = Walk2
KeyData3             = Walk3
KeyData4             = Walk4

[Walk1@PlayerFullGraphics]
TextureCorner        = (0, 0, 0)

[Walk2@PlayerFullGraphics]
TextureCorner        = (32, 0, 0)

[Walk3@PlayerFullGraphics]
TextureCorner        = (64, 0, 0)

[Walk4@PlayerFullGraphics]
TextureCorner        = (96, 0, 0)


	orxViewport_CreateFromConfig( "Viewport" );
 
	// Our new static scene is loaded from the following file.
	orxConfig_Load( "Player.ini" );
 
        // We create the 'root' object of our scene, which in turn creates it's children, and their children etc.
	orxObject_CreateFromConfig( "Player" );
Using this image:
Playerstrip.png

So please, could you have a look at this specific error message and see if it can't give some more information, such as which element it's faulting on and which file it's trying to load?

    G'day mate, writing this on my phone so please excuse any typos etc.

    As for your error; if you're comfortable doing so, please use the svn version of orx, one of the recent patches made that specific error a little more detailed if my memory serves me correctly.

    Only other thing I'd suggest checking your file path and capitalization etc. Good luck! :)

    No worries, as long as you use enters ;)

    Anyway, I've tried compiling [Static Debug] the SVN version (downloaded yesterday, updated just now) and when rebuilding all I'm getting 2 linker problems:
    Error	1	error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__timeBeginPeriod@4 referenced in function @orxSystem_Init@0	orxd.lib

Error	3	error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__timeEndPeriod@4 referenced in function @orxSystem_Exit@0	orxd.lib

    This may not be a problem, as I do get a orxd.lib as expected. However, using the SVN version also gives me linker errors in my project:

    In summary, this is what I've done:
    Compiled SVN version [Static Debug]
    Changed the include map and library map from orkinclude/bin to F:SVNmapetcinclude/bin

    Building works fine with the new includes, he can find the .lib file (or it'd crash on 'can't find orxd.lib'), but linking gives above errors.








    EDIT: Oh, i think I may know what I've done wrong. Still, I'm confused. What thing am I supposed to use..

    Try the 'dynamic embedded debug' build, should give you a DLL as well as the lib etc.

    Fingers crossed :D

    Yeah, I was somewhat confused which build config did what. Sec :)
    EDIT: Yeah, right, okay. I now have the wrong DLL in my dir, but that's solvable XD

    EDIT2: it's definetly grabbing the right IMG file. Could it be that it doesn't support interlaced pngs? or something?

    EDIT3: yup, switched the PNG with a non-interlaced version and it gives no errors. I still don't SEE anything, but that's a different problem :)

    EDIT4: Yay, I see my little tank-mushroom thingy, and it's animated too.

    I see that I'm a few edits late! :)

    So yep, as mentioned in the other thread, orx is using SOIL/stb_image for image loading and they don't support interlaced PNG, sorry.
    But heh we're not planning on doing old loading screens 8bit style, aren't we? :)
