Hello again. I managed to get all the images into the jar file using.
getClass().getResource("/" + imageName);
Now I'm trying to get the text files that are read in to build maps of areas using the images. I thought I would use the same but the File Class does not like URLs in its constructor. To solve this I appended a .getPath() to the end of the statement.
getClass().getResource("/" + textFile).getPath();
But the program does not seem to like this. I end up getting a path that looks something like the following:
/home/Users/Gad/Programming/Game/game.jar!/Maps/map.top
If I've tried removing the slash so it is:
/home/Users/Gad/Programming/Game/game.jar!Maps/map.top
As well as a number of other things to try to get this to work including removing the exclamation point but no luck on all fronts.
When the error is thrown it says approximately the following:
Cannot Find File:
File://home/Users/Gad/Programming/Game/game.jar!Maps/map.top
When I get another opportunity to work on it tonight I plain to toString() the image files that make it into the jar to see if they'll provide me a hint as to the directory structure of a jar.
Thanks for any help, sorry I posted again but no one replied to my last post in the other thread.
