Hey,

I defined a path for my image-files and it all works fine, but how can I also make it work with the published game, because if I create a map 'images' in the .cd directory and put the images in there, the .exe can't find them.

This is my definition:


Thanks for reading!

You could create a wdl with the same name as your c that contains a PATH statement.

You can use add_folder instead.

or add to file names always absolute paths containing the subfolder name like "images\\yourpicture.jpg". can be simple to use this approach if you store in strings your subfolders, and use:
str_cpy( actualfilename , foldername );
str_cat( actualfilename , filename );

this way the compilation will result also in a cd folder without subfolders, but if you copy/move the exe and the dlls to your script folder it will work fine (normally the exe is also placed to script folder).

Thanks for all the replies!

How exactly do I use this function? I tried this but it does not work:

After the default.c include:


In top of the void main():


It does work when I run main.c but when I run the published version (.exe), the console reports the files not found...what am I missing here?

Did you remember to copy those files over to the publishing directory?

yep!

Ok, then my only idea left is, that you could have called add_new() somewhere in your code.
