I have a problem loading the music with TinySound library.
I usually load every image like “res/…/fileName.ext”, but now I’ve no idea what I’m missing…
TinySound.init();
Music music = TinySound.loadMusic("res/music_tracks/Rayman_2_Cut.ogg");
music.play(true);
Output:
Unable to find resource /res/music_tracks/Rayman_2_Cut.ogg!
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at poker.state.StartScreenState.init(StartScreenState.java:45)
Have you double checked that the path is EXACTLY the same? How are your files located?
Yes! This link “res/music_tracks/Rayman_2_Cut.ogg”, worked fine for Slick2D Music.
[quote]How are your files located?
[/quote]
But not for this library… Any one ?
I have noticed a similar problem when I´m trying to add new .png files in Eclipse. Sometimes, no matter how much I update, I´m getting an error that the file can´t be found. Then I have to open my .png files in the text editor in Eclipse and just add and delete a character, just so I can save it again. After that it works. It´s silly, really, but no one seems to know what to do about this problem so I guess I´ll just continue doing it. 
If you are using Eclipse you can try it. Then at least you can rule out if that is the problem…
Here is how I load my files:
Audio.storeSound("hit_shield", TinySound.loadSound(Audio.class.getResource("/audio/hit_shield.wav")));
Audio.storeSound("shoot", TinySound.loadSound(Audio.class.getResource("/audio/shoot.wav")));
Audio.storeSound("alien_death", TinySound.loadSound(Audio.class.getResource("/audio/alien_death.wav")));
Audio.storeSound("player_hit", TinySound.loadSound(Audio.class.getResource("/audio/player_hit.wav")));
Audio.storeSound("player_upgrade", TinySound.loadSound(Audio.class.getResource("/audio/player_upgrade.wav")));
Just do / isntead of /res/ I think.
Edit:
For the guy above me. Did you right click on your res folder and hit refresh after adding files/editing them?
That did not fix the problem…

Tell me, from which library did u pull Audio class and what are u doing with it after loading the sound?
Audio is one of my personal utility classes that I use to control TinySound with.

Derp, just noticed that you’re using Netbeans. Can’t help there, I’m using eclipse and the code I showed you works fine.
