Post by Von66341 »

After doing modification for a few days when I want to start a game I will receive the error:
Content Error
Could not load texture from file/bitmaps/projectiletextures/thumbs.db

However I have make no changes in the bitmaps folder.

Does any receive the same errors as well?

I'm guessing you're using some version of the auto-loading resources.lua. (Indeed if you're modding S44 then you are :P ) I should probably update it to avoid trying to load .db files.

At any rate, you should just delete the thumbs.db file from that location. It is automatically created by windows when you browse images in a folder. There's a setting to turn it off somewhere.

Turn off thumbnails in windows explorer when you delete it, otherwise it just gets recreated. If you ahve windows 7, change the view to "details" and turn on the "preview pane" (iirc this doesn't cause thumbs.db to be generated).
