Load a texture directly from a .sio2 file

I am building a 2D game that uses many textures to hold sprites. I would like store my "sprite textures" along with all of the other images, i.e. in the "image" directory.

When I add my textures to the image directory they end up in the .sio2 file, but I can't not figure out how to load them from the game. The tutorial05 does not load textures from the .sio2 file - but rather adds the font textures directly to the resources folder.

If I add my texture to the resource folder of the xcode project - then I can load the texture like so:
waterTexture = sio2ImageInit( "water.JPG" );

How would I load this texture from the resource file (.sio2)

sio2ResourceExtractFile( _UDgamecontrol->_SIO2resource, _SIO2stream, "gamepad_frame.tga", UD_GAME_PASSWORD );

sio2ImageLoad( _SIO2image, _SIO2stream );

The call to sio2ResourceExtractFile fails - I have opened up the .sio2 file with a zip viewer to verify that the water.JPG file is in the image directory - but the call still fails.

By the way - how come image is not automatically added when the dictionary is created?

>> Are you calling:

sio2ResourceExtractFile( sio2->_SIO2resource, _SIO2stream, "image/water.JPG", NULL );

>> Are you loading the .sio2? If yes it will be available in the SIO2resource, simply call sio2ResourceGetImage( "image/water.JPG" );

Actually it turns out that the main ".sio2" file is failing to load - I don't know why.

How exactly are you adding the .sio2 files to a project? What are the check box setting etc.

Check the video tutorials...

OK I found the problem. The tool that I was using to create my zip file was actually creating a ".rar" file. I changed the options to make sure it produced a ".zip" file and now it loads just fine.

Thanks
