Animation shows up white at runtime

by Torquer · in Torque X Platformer Kit · 12/29/2010 (7:48 pm) · 7 replies

This is pretty strange, but in the editor, an animation or material shows up fine. When I run the game, the image is totally white. I have a PNG sprite sheet. Has anyone experienced this? Thanks for any insight!

I've had this happen a few times.

perhaps the material is too large ? what are the dimensions of your sprite sheet ? or although the material is present in TXB, its not present in Data/images/folder. Usually means a file cant be referenced or the image material is too big in size

Actually, hmm no. My sheet is 327x712. So it falls into the standard 1024x1024 max.

Checking its properly referenced in Visual Studio ? ie in the data\images folder ? Sometimes uppercase PNG or JPG extension causes this issue also

Hoddie, it was in the images folder. Turns out you were right though about the uppercase extension. Wow, I would have never guessed that. Anyway, thanks a ton for your help! Happy Holidays.
