Missing /scripts folder about bludbourne HOT 5 CLOSED

Hello Dusan,

The BludBourne project that I have here on GitHub is basically the final full project that you will end up with by the end of the book. You should be able to just clone and build. I just tested my local copy of the BludBourne repo, and I can build without any errors. (This project has been tested on multiple systems before release as well and should be able to build).

If you are still having problems, please give me more specific error messages so I can try to figure out what problems you are having (a copy/paste of your standard out error messages). If you are using your own IDE (Not IDEA Community Edition) it could be issues with paths or the Gradle setup.

If you are following the book, then I recommend that you download the project archive that contains the source for each of the chapters. There are a few ways to get the zip file that contains the source chapter by chapter.

1. I just pushed a new repo to GitHub called MasteringLibGDXGameDevelopment_CodeBundle. This contains the zip files for each of the chapters, which in turn contain the source specific to the corresponding chapter. (https://github.com/patrickhoey/MasteringLibGDXGameDevelopment_CodeBundle)

2. Register here at https://www.packtpub.com/books/content/support and they will email you a link to the zip file that contains all source for the chapters in the book

3. You can review the commit history log of the BludBourne project on GitHub, and look at the check-in comments. You can select the last comment that has the current chapter you are reviewing, such as "Ch02" and check that version out to your own private branch.

Thank you so much for the tips and most of all the fast response. This is the error I get when after successfully importing the project to AndroidStudio and using Application as a build configuration:

After some time I have actually found the location of the scripts folder in core/assets/scripts, but I can't find why the error is occurring...

Again thank you so much for the tips, it makes a lot of sense, I will follow up by checking out chapter commits. Amazing job you did on organizing things, and so far in the book I find it very useful and understanding. Great job, thank you for that! 👍

I have not used Android Studio, but the issue sounds like it is using the root directory of the project as the working directory. Try setting the "working directory" to "core/assets". It should then be able to find all the resource files correctly.

Heads up, I made it work after editing the paths to be like:
core/assets/scripts/town_folk.json
instead of:
scripts/town_folk.json

Not sure if it's an issue in my project setup, still trying to figure how libGDX uses gradle.

Exactly, thanks for the support! :)
