The game works great, until I try to complie it, in QComile it says it cannot find the file name room_#curr_room#.jpg

obviously i'm assigning currentroom to a variable, then using that variable in the path to the image - it retrievs the file fine in the dev mode but refesed to compile with sounds and pictures with this error:

- Found library, opening...
Including files...
Can't find file C:\Documents and Settings\Ryan\Desktop\Quest\room_#curr_room#.jpg

why does this work in development moe, but cant be used for 'retail' compilations??!? Thanks!

I have tried removedd the # signs, I have tried using the actual built in variable #quest.currentroom#

it just doesnt translate the string value into a filename - it takes my input 'litterly'.

would adding the resources manually matter?

I solved the problem with a very long and ugly Select case

Short answer: When running in dev mode, it doesn't look for the file until you try to load it, by which point it has a value for #curr_room#. When trying to compile, it doesn't yet have a value for #curr_room#, so it can't substitute.

If you add all possible images manually as resources though, it should work. This is precisely why I created a mechanism for manually adding resources!
