    path of loading bitmaps in DX

    hello:

    Assmue that there is one bitmap named "player.bmp", if it is inside the folder pic1,so we load like this way:

    "pic1/player.bmp"
    and no problem for that.

    but if the pic1 folder is inside another fold let's say pic2, so I loaded like this way:

    "pic1/pic2/player.bmp"

    but it didn't work for me, what is the problem??

    Thank you

    [i]"pic1/pic2/player.bmp"/[i]

    the paths are the wrong way round. if pic1 is in pic2 then it should be

    pic2/pic1/player.bmp

    yep and you should also append a '.'

    ie.

    "./pic2/pic1/player.bmp" or was it,
    "../pic2/pic1/player.bmp" ,

    thank you,guys, but if I have mutiple bitmaps like "player0.bmp", "player1.bmp", "player2.bmp" for the animation.and they are in the player folder which is inside pic folder.
    and the lpddsPlayer to load the bitmap.

    so I load like this:

    char buffer[10]; //which contains the file name
    for(int frame=0; frame<3;frame++)
    {
    sprintf(buffer,"../pic/player/player%d.BMP",frame);
    DDReLoadBitmap(lpddsPlayer,buffer);
    }

    then this wouldn't work. why???


    BTW, if I have only 1 bitmap, then either "../pic/player/player.bmp "or "pic/player/player.bmp"
    works fine,but cause the problem with loading mutiple bitmaps.

    Thanx again!!!!
