Because I only own the commercial edition I'm think about it how it works. Is the filecontent simply gett'n extracted to the folder at gamestartup and deleted after gameend ? Are they exists in an readable format while playing ? The "create" functions like "ent_create" read the data from the filesystem. Is there a chance to read the data from an bytearray/ bytesteam? regrds, gri "Make a great game or kill it early" (Bruce Shelley, Ensemble Studios)

I dont know for what this got included. But this is absolut crazy. My mainproblem with A8 com was that the script was compiled in release version but the entities lays naked arround - for everyone. I did some testing with "add_buffer" and worked out an way to collect all entities in a single file and extract them at gamestart to engine filesystem. Holy Hell....if it works in all detail like I want so switching the engine to Unity is no option for me anymore. regards, gri "Make a great game or kill it early" (Bruce Shelley, Ensemble Studios)
