Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Documents and Settings\VanWagner\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\Berzerker\Berzerker\Images\NewZerkie.png'

"InvalidOperationException was unhandled.
The size of the data passed in is too large or too small for this resource."

This happens on the tex.GetData statement:
// get the image data
Int32[] texbits = new Int32[m_pxWidth * m_pxHeight];
tex.GetData(texbits);

strTexName is Zerkie at the point it fails.

Not sure what to do to fix that...
m_pxwidth and m_pxheight are 260 and 500, while the size of the png is slightly different. Dunno if that's the problem...]]> http://www.gameprojects.com/project?id=a08cf5857d Sun, 18 Feb 2007 14:53:49 +0000 veedub Comments http://www.gameprojects.com/project?id=a08cf5857d
I have uploaded a new zip. I've never seen that sonyice. Do you get that before the game starts up? Can you get the new file and try again?]]> http://www.gameprojects.com/project?id=a08cf5857d Sun, 18 Feb 2007 15:17:16 +0000 sonyice Comments http://www.gameprojects.com/project?id=a08cf5857d Yes I don't actually see anything start even when running this newer exe. I get the "Please tell Microsoft about this Problem" error window. (I'm sure they'd do their darnest to help, but nevertheless I simply press "Don't Send"). I think my system is just starting to show its age. I had a similar issue with something else not running because textures were not in powers of two that other people didn't seem to have. However, although my ATI 9600XT is not exactly a cutting edge video card anymore, it's still not completely over-the-hill either.

I might look into this later, but I have to take off for a while.]]> http://www.gameprojects.com/project?id=a08cf5857d Sun, 18 Feb 2007 15:26:32 +0000 Derek Comments http://www.gameprojects.com/project?id=a08cf5857d http://www.gameprojects.com/project?id=a08cf5857d Tue, 20 Feb 2007 19:42:12 +0000 SwampThingTom Comments http://www.gameprojects.com/project?id=a08cf5857d http://www.gameprojects.com/project?id=a08cf5857d Wed, 21 Feb 2007 21:04:25 +0000 veedub Comments http://www.gameprojects.com/project?id=a08cf5857d
Strange that only some graphics cards are complaining. This is definately good to know. A good rule of thumb would be to keep image sizes rounded off to the nearest 10th pixel.

I uploaded a new zip with v1.1. Let me know if this fixes the issue. Thanks!]]> http://www.gameprojects.com/project?id=a08cf5857d Thu, 22 Feb 2007 20:06:44 +0000 sonyice Comments http://www.gameprojects.com/project?id=a08cf5857d
It would appear that my card (and maybe all ATI cards?) only allow textures to be in dimensions of powers of two, and this error occurred slightly differently with the Snake project as well.

If I look at the Width and Height properties of the tex variable in your code (which is a Texture2D) at run time, those values are always powers of two for me. So the zerkie texture is 512 X 512. Apparently for you, it matches the size of the png?

So, if this code:

//get the image data
Int32[] texbits = new Int32[m_pxWidth * m_pxHeight];

is changed to:

//get the image data
Int32[] texbits = new Int32[tex.Width * tex.Height];

your game runs for me, and appears to work fine including the collision detection which I believe is what this code above is ultimately used for.

So, you could try that quick change, and verify that it works for your system as well.]]> http://www.gameprojects.com/project?id=a08cf5857d Thu, 22 Feb 2007 20:10:10 +0000 sonyice Comments http://www.gameprojects.com/project?id=a08cf5857d
Oddly, it's more entertaining to code/debug stuff lately than to actually play games. Well, with the exception of FlatOut2 maybe. Can't seem to stop playing that on the 65" screen.
