[SOLVED] [1.15.2] Can't access image file when running from launcher

[GenElectrovise]

Ok, so I'm at the stage of mod testing when I have to try running it in the launcher (and later on a dedicated server) to ensure compatability.

Everything works apart from my custom glyph system, which can't find the files (FileNotFoundException).

 

In my IDE, I use a formatted version of "../src/main/resources/assets/magiksmostevile/" to escape the running directory, then plunge into the mod resources to find the file on the path (appended to the end of that).

I should have realised this wouldn't work from the launcher.

 

It tries to access:

"C:\User\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\..\src\main\resources\assets\magiksmostevile\textures\items\general\vampire_bat_tooth.png" does not exist (as is clarifed by a logging line)

...which would work in the IDE. It escapes the run directory and tries to enter non-existant resources.

 

What would work for accessing theses images both in the IDE and in the launcher?

 

I tried plain old "src/main", but found that I had to escape "run" (changed to "../src/main")

Ahh yes, ResourceLocations work well.

 

For anyone else:
Use ResourceLocation#getInputStream() to get an input stream, then you can use ImageIO.read(inputStream) to get a BufferedImage.

The code is in the ritual.glyph.Glyph#generateImageProperties method in my github in my signature.
