Make sure ur sprite names are exact. Hope this helps Off the top of my brain it may be because the iPhone is case sensitive whilst the simulator is not. Make sure ur sprite names are exact.

I have made multiple modifications to the game, adding new towers, sprites, tiles etc and everything runs smoothly on the iPhone simulator. However, whenever I try to run the app on my personal iPhone, it builds but then ends up with 8 errors that tell me it cannot find the location of the new sprites I added, even though it is clearly in the resources folder. Did anyone else have this problem? Ah. I have made multiple modifications to the game, adding new towers, sprites, tiles etc and everything runs smoothly on the iPhone simulator.

Use the file editor and copy the this into I think its line 20, you’ll see the compression line anyway:

If that doesn’t work change it to “gzip”

as Aiden said it doesn’t get to the root of the problem but it happened to me months ago, so this may not be the solution as I fixed mine the same way Aiden did

Try opening preferences and choosing 64bit zlib compressed then re-exporting. I did come across this error myself, what I ended up doing is duplicating the original TMX file and editing the copy. However this does not get to the bottom of the problem just avoids it. Hope this helps, if you are still having problems shout again and I will have a proper look at it.

I just have one question, and that is whenever I try to modify the .tmx file from your source code by creating my own maps, the program doesn't compile and crashes at this line of the code, NSAssert( !compression || [compression isEqualToString:@"gzip"], @"TMX: unsupported compression method" ); Do you know why? Thanks Hey, great tutorial Aiden. I just have one question, and that is whenever I try to modify the .tmx file from your source code by creating my own maps, the program doesn’t compile and crashes at this line of the code,

NSAssert( !compression || [compression isEqualToString:@"gzip"], @”TMX: unsupported compression method” );

Do you know why? Thanks

One question, in the (CGPoint) tileCoordForPosition:(CGPoint) position, where did you come up with that formula for detecting the y-position? Great tutorials.
