6.40.50.

this is part of my code, checking if such a wrs file exists:

if (NewGame->_fileManager->CheckLoaded("Betapolis.wrs") == true)
{
add_resource ("Betapolis.wrs");
);

this a super simple wdl check

// resource("Betapolis.wrs")

function AddMe()
{

add_resource("Betapolis.wrs");
load("Betapolis.wmb");
}


on_8 = AddMe;


This latter one should add a resouce when a key is hit. It prompts with an error message when I hit the key.
But if I comment out the resource statement aboove and try to load the "betapolis.wmb" (which resides inside the resource) everything works fine.

Not sure, but maybe a wait(1) is required before accessing the resource..?

thanks for the suggestion, but that did not work either.

Just a hunch, but doesn't the resource statements have to go in at the beginning of the wdl, just before global variables and function declarations begin?

cheers

in case of dynamic resource assignment you would not care about that, you would just initiate a resource through this

add_resource

functuion I am fighting with.

Yes, the WDL code you've posted should work (I assume that the 'load' was a typo and meant 'level_load'). At least when I quickly try here a similar code, it works.

I'll look further into this. I'll be away next week, but will take care of this issue after my return. If I can not reproduce the problem, I might need your sample - maybe something in the resource prevent the level_load from functioning.

What about the typo:

maybe this is it ...?

thanks Tindust, for caring - but the function was ok, just a typo.

@jcl - yes, that would be nice if you'll have a look on that.
I can send you the resource (in fact I had the same idea you had - and tested various ones).
Maybe experimanting with that may help.
Desperately as I was I began to write my own packer format...

I found the problem. There was indeed a bug in add_resource. This will be fixed in the 6.50 update.
