GameSalad keeps losing my pictures.

jackvogel

Every time I load the game I'm working on my picture files are all blank. There is no icon and no info, just an X where the size would be listed. The only thing remaining is the name.

I can reload them manually, but then I still have to replace each one into its assigned actor again.

Any one know why this keeps happening?

Uhh jeah had this once like 2 game salad versions ago. Almost killed my motivation since I was afraid to maybe already not having some of the pictures anymore.

From there on always created back off copy on dropbox

But you have it every time…wow
Where is the image coming from when you drag it into?
Where do you save your file too?
Did you tried it with different projects?

Its coming from a folder in my Images folder called Whack a Vole
The Project is being saved in a sub-folder within that one.
I only have one other project I'm working on but that one loads up just fine.

Its my own stuff. There really isn't that much in it that could be causing problems.

I just had it happen to me again today. This could be coincidental... But... If I use File >Save.. It seems to work fine. If I close out and save from the pop up dialog it deletes the sound and image directories. Sometimes it deletes the proj file too.

Not really the problem I'm having. My project saves just fine. It's only the images that keep going missing.

Um... did you read the link?

Yes. I'm not missing my .gsproj file.

Same problem here. Running latest Gamesalad version on Mac. Everytime I save my current project as new file, all the art is gone. :O I hope a patch is coming real soon because honestly... this is a big bug for a serious development tool.
