Chess board not working about chess-challenge

[WithoutNameIdeas]

Thanks! Turns out one accent in the name of a folder was killing visual studio

I m think game cant load files (piece images, fonts, etc)

That looks like a font issue. If I'm not wrong, the chess pieces are text too and they're getting hidden because the font doesn't work for you for some reason.

I m try to delete font files (they inside resource folder) and get same font, but my pieces didn't disappear. Still the problem is reading the file.

Try check YOURE_REPOS_FOLDER\Chess-Challenge\Chess-Challenge\bin\Debug\net6.0\resources and tell me what's in it

[just-a-hriday]

Ok turns out I was wrong the chess pieces are all in a png. But yeah as creastive said it looks like there's something wrong with the resources.

[Idk141414]

after net6.0 there is no resources

Try check YOURE_REPOS_FOLDER\Chess-Challenge\Chess-Challenge\bin\Debug\net6.0\resources and tell me what's in it

[CREAsTIVE]

after net6.0 there is no resources

Try check YOURE_REPOS_FOLDER\Chess-Challenge\Chess-Challenge\bin\Debug\net6.0\resources and tell me what's in it

Open VS and find OPENSANS-SEMIBOLD.ttf, sdf.fs, Fens.txt and Pieces.png in solution explorer
then for each file look down, set "Build action" to "Embedded resource" and set "copy" to "always copy", then try run again

[Idk141414]

i found the files but how do i do what u said?

textures and fonts still do not work after setting params you mentioned

[CREAsTIVE]

Then just copy them manually
copy folder repos\Chess-Challenge\Chess-Challenge\resources to repos\Chess-Challenge\Chess-Challenge\bin\Debug\net6.0\resources

[manfromfms]

Still does not work. Ive tried to reinstall project too

[Idk141414]

tried it didnt work

[CREAsTIVE]

strange... Do you have Chess-Challenge\Chess-Challenge\bin\Debug\net6.0\resources\Pieces.png file?

[Idk141414]

yes

[CREAsTIVE]

launch \Chess-Challenge\Chess-Challenge\bin\Debug\net6.0\Chess-Challenge.exe

[CREAsTIVE]

I have a theory that VS simply doesn't have enough permissions to copy the files and read them after the program starts.

[manfromfms]

your theory is wrong. I have solved it but idk what was the problem:

1. Path is too long
2. Path includes non english letters

After moving main dir to root folder it loads correctly

After moving main dir to root folder it loads correctly

What exactly do you mean by that? I'm having this same issue and nothing i do seems to do anything

[CaptainDeathead]

Check the entire path to the project, and in the project, if there are bad characters in the paths it could cause the resources, fonts, sprites, ect... not to load properly
