problem with Particle Effects and Images

by Nathan Meier · in Torque Game Builder · 10/28/2009 (6:37 pm) · 1 replies

I downloaded the ParticlesArt download available on this site to get some particle effects to use in my game. I got the images and the .eff files in my game. But when I Run the game. The Thruster Particle Effect Doesn't show. And I got this error in my console Window:

ImageMap(particles1ImageMap)SrcBitmap(game/gameScripts/images/particles1) Error: 'Invalid Bitmap File!' (2)

Any help and advice on what this means will be greatly appreciated. thanks!

Looks to me as if it's not finding one of the image files that it needs for the particle effect. You might want to check the particles1ImageMap datablock (you can find it in managed/datablock.cs) and see that it links to the correct file. It doesn't seem to be finding it in gamescripts/images and it might be somewhere else.
