Loading generic texture in an Applet

[Tornado7]

Hi Egon,

as you know I'm loading texture in this way:

Code Select Expand

texMan.addTexture("car1.jpg",new Texture(getDocumentBase(),"textures/car1.jpg"));

in my applet context. Considering that I'm using now a certificate, so I can access to the local filesystem, I'd like to load texture in a generic way using a for cycle (as you do in fps) :

Code Select Expand


File dir=new File("textures");
      String[] files=dir.list();
       for (int i=0; i<files.length; i++) {
        String name=files[i];
        if (name.endsWith(".jpg")) {
           texMan.addTexture(name, new Texture("textures"+File.separator+name));
        }
      }


but, when I run the applet the Java console says:

Code Select Expand


java.lang.NullPointerException
at ThreeDSimApplet.init(ThreeDSimApplet.java:238)
at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(AppletPanel.java:348)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:536)

there's another way to load texture in a generic way in my context? Bye and thanks

The exception happens somewhere in your code. What exactly is in line 238?

Line 238 is:

Code Select Expand

for (int i=0; i<files.length; i++) {

That means that files is null, which means that dir.list() returns null, which means that your "textures"-directory doesn't exist. At least not there where you expect it to be. Try the complete path (i.e. "c:\blah\blubb\...\textures" or similar) and see if that works.

Ok, it works using slash. Bye and thanks
