I'm getting this warning on a scene where the background image is in the same folder as the scene and sceneedit knows it is. So when I run sceneedit, there's the graphic, but in either projectman or the game, no it isn't.

Is there an option to say "start looking here"?

It's happening on everything, cursors backgrounds etc.

Thanks

So I assume you're getting some errors when running the game? What errors exactly?

[Kaz]

Error is missing image.

Followed by some path...?

Full story - I have a scene "cafe_long_shot" and in its folder is the .scene file and cafe2.jpg. Using the scene editor, I set the background to cafe2.jpg, but instead of just saying cafe2.jpg, it registers in the scene editor as c:\documents and settings\blah\my documents\wme projects\demoproject\data\scenes\cafe_long_shot\cafe2.jpg.

Then I get a warning in the log box 'referencing absolute path'.
 
Then when I run the game I get 'missing image'.

I have messed about with it though - the scene is from a template I created with scenedit. I think it may have corrupted something but I don't know what.

I think SceneEdit is confused about where the scene is located in your project. Probably the easiest way to fix it is this:

1) edit the .scene file in notepad
2) remove the $EDITOR_PROJECT_ROOT_DIR$ line (third line)
3) open the .scene file in SceneEdit - it should ask you where the project is located

That *should* correct the problem.

I thought that line was a comment coz it had a ; before it - so is it not a comment?

[Mnemonic]

For the engine it's a comment. But the tools use it to determine how to generate relative paths when saving the file.

It worked - thanks again, sorted.
