i was looking through the tutorials and i couldnt figure out why images arent loading. the code seems right but when i run the program i get this
"can't load texture........ reasons:
-videocard doesnt support required format
-file not found
-out of memory"

the file is there and the directory path is right. i can open the image in other programs so im guesing my video card isnt the issue, so would memory be the problem (but as far as my ram and hdd go they are not full, not by a long shot). this is the code from the tutorial "image="../data/particle/winx.jpeg";" has the code changed or what?

ty in advanced.

i think the problem in your jpeg file. try to convert jpeg into another format (png for example). Maybe this is error in an importer. attach the file...

i read a little more and yes looks like i need gfx format. but the images provided should have been in this format and yet they dont work either. ill try using the converter on other images, maybe they ones provided got corupted or something.

i don't have your problems . ill transform png in gfx, and then i use gfx in game.
how you will transform in gfx?

okay am i missing something here? ive been trying to figure out how to use the tools(world editor converter etc) but for the love of christ i cant figure out how? where are they etc?

Try just dragging your jpg into Mesh Editor (EsenthelEngineSDK > Tools > Mesh Editor.exe)? It should convert it to a gfx file (next to where you dragged it from). Then use this gfx file in your code.

There should be. No you don't need a license to use the tools non-commercially. Re-download and re-extract the SDK if there are no .exe's there:
