Subfolders don't work anymore after publishing? #239927 12/08/08 11:22 12/08/08 11:22

I have different subfolders: Code: #define PRAGMA_PATH "models"; #define PRAGMA_PATH "textures"; #define PRAGMA_PATH "temp"; #define PRAGMA_PATH "gfx"; While development they worked fine. But after publishing the game the files in these subfolders weren't found anymore. Only if I copy the files into the root folder (where the exe lies) they were found. What I'm doing wrong?

Das funktioniert dann auch mit gepublisheten Spielen (auch wenn du als .exe kompilierst). Nur werden da keine Skripts draus geladen. Shitlord by trade and passion.

In a published project, all files are placed in the project folder by default. For using subfolders in a published project, either add them at runtime through add_folder(), or use a .wdl project file.
