Appath$ problems (RayCaster)

[OneManArmyGames]

I recently made an Installer for my Raycasting game.. I made all the textures in a folder called "Data" (The Maps were also in there)

The setup was this way

(MFA Folder)
-Data
-(Textures)
-Map.rcm
-map.rcm.tex

Game.MFA


After asking me where the textures were I set the Directory to (Appath$+"Data/"). I ran the MFA and it worked perfectly. but after building the Installer the textures came up as an orange box. I figured that since the exe was the Application then Appath$ would work.

Something went wrong help please..

Here you're typing "Appath$", but are you sure in your project you typed "Apppath$" with three 'p'?
It's "App(lication) path", I recall I was typing it with only two 'p' sometimes, wondering what was wrong since the path was correct, until I realized it was just a typo in the function.

I changed the letters but exe files still have no textures

Shouldn't it be (Apppath$+"Data\")?

[OneManArmyGames]

Ah your right... unfortunately.. (embarrassingly)I dont know which key reverses the slant of the "/"

It wants the texture folder, so maybe try without the \?

eg. (Appath$+"Data")

I tried Textures still come out orange... I must've typed the code wrong.

I actually had this problem once at some point, but the fix is actually really simple:

Go to "Settings" of the application properties, go into "Image Filters", and turn off "Automatic". Your textures should load when playing the exe.

For Windows programming, you should definitely know where the backslash is located on your keyboard. Usually it is the key above Enter, to the right of an end bracket "]", and below Backspace.

It is not necessary to have the backslash at the end of a file path, though, unless directions explicitly say so.
