Jmonkey loading texture from fails

Question

I have the following basic code:

public void simpleInitApp() {
    Box b = new Box(1, 1, 1);
    Geometry geom = new Geometry("Box", b);
    Texture cube1Tex = assetManager.loadTexture(
    "/home/glados/codes/3/assets/Textures/map/oldParchment.jpg");

    Material mat = new Material(assetManager, "Common/MatDefs/Misc/Unshaded.j3md");
    mat.setTexture("ColorMap", cube1Tex);
    geom.setMaterial(mat);

    rootNode.attachChild(geom);
}

which is supposed to simply attach a texture to the cube loaded from Textures/map/oldParchment.jpg

My resource setup is as following:

running this gives the following error:

com.jme3.asset.AssetNotFoundException: /home/glados/codes/3/assets/Textures/map/oldParchment.jpg (Flipped) (Mipmapped)

Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

The path you are giving assetManager should start from the assets folder of your project.

So the path should just be:

"Textures/map/oldParchment.jpg"

This is the same for all assets loaded with assetManager.

Compare your code to the tutorial for loading assets.
