InputStream only reading certain image files as non-null within same directory. Why?

The first video is an example of it running properly, showing a pallet-swapped version of the "flappy bird" image that is used unsuccessfully in the second video

The images with checkmarks work just fine, but I have no idea what makes them special, as I made them all in photoshop with the only difference being the colours

hm

[neon chasm]

heres something to try

make a new folder called res

right next to src

right click and mark it as a resources root

and move all your assets there

this might be an "intellij confused" thing and that would help it

[arctic isle]

I tried it out to no avail. The old images still work too

[neon chasm]

oh you still need the assets subfolder

[arctic isle]

so res/assets?

[neon chasm]

yeah

to match up with what it was before

if thats not the fix, show me where in the code you load flappybird.png and where you load the other stuff

[arctic isle]

I tried a couple variations of the filepath with and without the extra assets folder and it didn't work

        mouseInputs = new MouseInputs(this);

        importImg();

        setPanelSize();
        addKeyListener(new KeyboardInputs(this));
        addMouseListener(mouseInputs);
        addMouseMotionListener(mouseInputs);
    }

    private void importImg() {
        InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream("assets/flappybird.png");
        try {
            img = ImageIO.read(is);
        } catch(IOException e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }```
These are the only two methods that apply to the images

Detected code, here are some useful tools:

[neon chasm]

well good news

there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that code

bad news

that means i don't know whats going wrong

[arctic isle]

well that's reassuringly horrifying

[neon chasm]

if you can share your code in a way i can run on my machine i can test it

[arctic isle]

I appreciate the help, I feel a little less crazy

I'm working on getting a github repo up rn

You're looking at the wrong spot.

You've added them to src/assets.

[neon chasm]

that works too

[fluid tangle]

The correct location for those files by default is src/main/resources.

[neon chasm]

no they aren't using maven

[fluid tangle]

Which you also happen to have, mind unfurling it?

Correct to both.

Ideally stick to one structure. Since now you have some Java files under src, and some src/main.

[arctic isle]

It worked!

Would it be worth adding the path manually just in case or should it be good as is?

Also is there anything like an upvote or rep thing I can give u guys? I appreciate the help

[neon chasm]

we should make a reputation system

it would be cool to have points

we could spend them like money
