Hello,
I still wondering how Resources.get API works. Let's assume that I have these directories:
~~```~~-- src -- resources --- audio --- config --- images --- etc```` Then, how can I setup ~~~~resources` folder (include all things inside it) to collectable using Resources.get API?
Thanks.

Have you tried using the utiLITI?
It can simplify what you want to do.

Sorry if this is a bit confusing... ~~Resources.get("FancyKey") only retrieves Strings from the localization folder of your project. .
For example, if the content of a localization file at ~~resources/localization/strings\_de\_DE.properties looks like this:
~~```~~kennfatt_example1=Bitte dokumentiert euer Projekt besser! kennfatt_example2=Warum tue ich mir das hier überhaupt an?```` Then ~~Resources.get("kennfatt_example1") would return the String ~~"Bitte dokumentiert euer Projekt besser!" if your ~~Game.getConfiguration().client().getLanguage() is ~~"de" and ~~Game.getConfiguration().client().getCountry() is ~~"DE" (by Standard, the Locale is set to en-EN). You can load images from the resources folder, too. By calling ~~Resources.getImage("sprites/candy-cane.png");, you'll get the "candy-cane.png" located in a sub-folder called ~~/resources/sprites/ Similarly, you can load fonts: Just use ~~Resources.getFont("unifont.ttf") to retrieve ~~/resources/unifont.ttf To load sounds from code, create a "~~/sounds/" folder in your main project directory (**~~\*\*~~NOT the ~~/resources/ directory!\*\***) where you place your sound files. Then, call ~~~~Sound.get("zombie-scream1.ogg")` to load an example Sound.

> nightm4re To load sounds from code, create a "/sounds/" folder in your main project directory (NOT the /resources/ directory!) where you place your sound files. Then, call Sound.get("zombie-scream1.ogg") to load an example Sound.
Just a clarification: It doesn't necessarily have to be a folder called ~~~~sounds
The most important thing about assets in general (images, fonts, sounds, textfiles, ...) is that the path that they are retrieved by should be relative to the application folder. All the folders that contain such resources should be defined as ~~~~src classpath entries. During compilation, the contents of these files will then be copied to the respective output directory and thereby be available on the root dir. Thereby, you never have to specify the base folder (e.g. sounds, resources) when accessing assets via ~~~~Resources.getFont(String) or ~~Resources.getImage(String).
****~~Example from a ~~~~.classpath file:****
~~```xml~~<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <classpath> <classpathentry kind="src" path="src"/> <classpathentry kind="src" path="resources"/> <classpathentry kind="src" path="maps"/> <classpathentry kind="src" path="sounds"/> ... </classpath>```` **~~\*\*~~Example files: \*\*** (assuming ~~~~sounds, ~~~~audio, ~~~~resources and ~~~~misc are source folders) ~~~~sounds/test.ogg -> ~~~~Sound.get("test.ogg") ~~~~audio/music.ogg -> ~~~~Sound.get("music.ogg") ~~~~resources/sprites/logo.png -> ~~~~Resources.getImage("sprites/logo.png") ~~~~misc/my-font.ttf -> ~~~~Resources.getFont("my-font.ttf") ~~~~resources/localization/strings.properties -> ~~~~Resources.get("my-localizable-string") Sidenote: also localization should not force the subfolder ~~~~localization/` and should behave similarly to images and fonts. I've opened GitHub ~~~~Issue #189 for this topic.

Please see ~~~~this recent commit, which unified the Resource loading.

Is there any way to load resources directly from the JAR or from an InputStream?

~~~~Resources.get("filepath") can be used to retrieve Files as a ~~~~FileInputStream either from the file system or a Resources folder.

Oh, I forgot to mention that web resources are also supported!
