well guys...

how can i use resources(sprites, models etc.) outside my specified gamefolder?

...for example:i´d like to use some sprites hosted on a web

defing a path in my script doesnt work

any ideas...or other possibilities?

regards
roald

I cant really see why you would want to do this because it would force a user to require an internet connection and probably lag up the game as textures were streamed off the Net.

Just download the textures and stick em in the game folder :-)

If you want to do updates for a game that can be downloaded off the internet you could consider using a hyperlink to the url for the user to download the content and over write the existing images?

hi luke...

i want to do this because i´d like to found a advertising community where clients can change there banners (shown in game) when ever they want;

I think that those people will have to upload textures to your server where the game will be;) like avatars on this forum
and then somehow (but I don't know how ) store textures and read it from location and use in game. Maybe bmap_load + bmap_for_entity
In real time is almost impossible without huge lags

u can dowload the files per dlls
just look at gshttp.dll or big.dll

thx guys!!

your suggestions helped a lot!
