I am sorry if this is a repeat but I already read dozens of posts regarding the issue and I still cant solve it. I am working on a project in java with Intellij IDE (it's actually this game http://www.kilobolt.com/unit-2-creating-a-game-i.html and it appeared on this forum allot). My issue is that the java applet cannot locate any resources (images and texts). getImage() method cant load images with "../data/image.png", nor "/data/image.png", nor the regular "data/image.png". same goes for file reader. I also tried getDocumentBase() instead getCodeBase(). Currently I'm storing images on a local website (IIS locahost) but that's not the solution and besides, i cant use map1.txt that way(i have to use local path). Im sory if i omitted anything of importance.
Note: "Resources.IMAGE" are static fields in a separate class with values as such: "http://localhost/folder/image.png"
