I have created a custom made file that loads up a spritesheet into my game. The problem is that I cannot access this file. The file is in the assets folder where all other files such as Textures are stored. I tried this:
Gdx.files.internal("images/tiles/defaulttileset/init.tileset").file()
I am trying to get a java.io.File, not a LibGDX FileHandle, since I am loading the files data using the java.utils.Scanner class.
Currently, when I try to load it, the game crashes once it reaches the scanner constructor where the file is passed since the file is considered to be non-existent.
More info: When I use the file.getPath() method, it returns "images/tiles/defaulttileset/init.tileset". It seems that it is trying to access that file on the computer's hard drive rather than the game's assets folder.
Does anyone have a solution?
