TIP: Tidy up your GameStudio work folder!

In case you didn't know, you can tidy up your GameStudio working directory.

Here's an example:

. (GameStudio work folder)
|
- scripts/ (Holds your scripts, eg. custom actions, etc).
|
- music/ (Holds your music, MP3s, etc)
|
- gfxdata/ (Holds sprites, images, panel overlays, etc).

In this layout, I did this in my main WDL script:



I hope this helps you tidy up your GameStudio files. If you want to get music, you'd just do play_mp3(music\\mysong.mp3) for example.

yes, always use multiple folders. makes your life much easier

and add the path

PATH "files\\models";
ore lite-c
#define PRAGMA_PATH "files\\models";

there must be a standard because my map names are always different

and the models do i put always under the map levels becuase you can load them white wed to

I want to add my 5 penny and said, that i had some errors with path
F.E, if i wrote

#define PRAGMA_PATH "models";
***
ent_create("model.mdl",***);

i got errors... but
ent_create("models\\model.mdl",***);
helped me in that case

you made a litle mistake
after #define dont use the ;

else i dont know where the problem coms from
maby you will need the whole root to the folder

Ah yes, i just copypasted text to show general idea.

The whole root isnt good for end user... as i say, ent_create("models\\model.mdl",***); works nice

yeah i tought that

i dont rember how but you can get the root of .exe that is started and then you will need to add the folder

%EXE_DIR%

Heh, yeah.

I don't think Panels like this layout too much. I've added a health bar image, but it won't show up, so I'll put it in my ROOT folder.
