Can't load image

[hey5000]

Call me stupid, but after using this code I get an error. I can't think of what is wrong with it, maybe I'm missing something obvious here. I dunno.
I have tried

1. No '/' at the end
2. Using just '\'
3. Putting two '/' at the end

Tried searching on the forums here a while back, too.
Code:

Code: Select all

function load()
image = love.graphics.newImage ("C:/Images [LOVE]/no1tb_icons_yotsuba8.png/")
end

function draw() 
love.graphics.draw (image, 400, 400)
end

Error:

You can't load stuff from anywhere you want actually. It has to be in the same folder as your main.lua (or a subfolder), and to use the filename only:

Code: Select all

love.graphics.newImage("blah.png")
love.graphics.newImage("subfolder/blah.png")

This way, when you zip up your game folder into a .love file, it still works. Well it's the only way anyway.

In fact it's not exactly correct, when the image is not found, LÖVE also looks in the so called "save directory", which is explained in the doc, section love.filesystem. But most of the time you want to include your images in your .love anyway.

Thanks, it now works. But man, I feel stupid.
