Level Director X - change the path where levels get their images.

Level Director
#1

Hi,

I am looking for a way to change the path the level .Lua files look for images to display in corona.

This project will eventually have many images with will require categorisation.

Is there a way to let the level.Lua file know in what sub folders to look for the images?

Kind regards,

Tommie de Jong

Hi,

Thanks for using LDX.

You can’t specify a folder per level, but you can specify a sub folder for all your levels by setting ‘imagesSubFolder’ in config.lua.

Please look at one of the example projects to see how it is setup.

You can still organise your images in sub folders within this folder for example;

images/trees

images/characters

You just need to make sure you start with this structure so LDX knows the relative path when you start adding the assets.

I hope this helps.

Hi,  I can’t reproduce this error, and I even tried downloading the same build of Corona.

Please could you try reinstalling LDX and try running the examples directly from Corona i.e. do not launch them from LDX.

If there are permission issues with MAC OS then these can cause problems when trying to export the levels and therefore give errors.

Dear, thanks for your quick answer.

Was a permission problem. If I open directly from the Corona Simulator works perfect.

I have uninstalled LDX and install it again and now works fine.

Thanks a lot.
