game directory problem? 'cant locate image!'

[Soychan]

HELLO! i'm having trouble with adding images and music to my ren'py game- the script i've got down and i've been using this tutorial:
http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=4233.0
aswell as the Ren'py handbook

so, i save the images... they're jpegs and then i copy them into the ' game directory' and add them in like this:
init:
image bg room = "4-2-02-k.jpeg"
$ y = Character("Yui")
$ m = Character("Matsuda")

label start:
scene bg room
y"Oh my god! its already this late?"
which i think is right... But it always says ' cant locate image' and then the dreaded error things and the game wont start...


when i add music. ( which i made on mixcraft and is mp3 format) and put it in the directory and add like this:

label start:

play music "neutral1.mp3"

y"Oh my god! its already this late?"

it doesn't play!
i know i must be doign SOMETHING wrong... i'm just not sure what!
this is a desperate call for help! Thankyou

Are you sure you got the names right? Also, do you have your computer set up so that you see file extensions? Sometimes what happens is that people will name a file "music.mp3.mp3", so the file name is wrong and thus won't work.

Try '.jpg' instead of '.jpeg'

One way to avoid having this problem is to not hide known extensions for known files.

I'll assume you're using Windows Vista or 7, go into any common window, click 'Organise', click 'Folder and search options', click the 'View' tab, and untick the "Hide extensions for known file types".

A previous poster had an image file named "background.jpeg.jpg", when it should've just been "background.jpg".

It's about time this went into the FAQ.
