I've just noticed that add_folder() seems to not work 100%. I have: Code: add_folder("D:\\VISUAL STUDIO PROJECTS\\$(SolutionName)\\images\\"); add_folder("D:\\VISUAL STUDIO PROJECTS\\$(SolutionName)\\maps\\"); add_folder("D:\\VISUAL STUDIO PROJECTS\\$(SolutionName)\\models\\"); and when i load any images: mCursor = bmap_create("arrowblue.pcx"); this works fine without having to use "..\\arrowblue.pcx" But loading LEVEL or ENTITY seems to need the path? "..\\maps\\ProjectTest.wmb" "..\\models\\cbabe.mdl" This does defeat the object of add_folder() ?? Has anyone else noticed this? A8.3x Commercial, AcknexWrapper and VS 2010 Express ○pararealist now.

I suppose you were confusing Visual Studio macros with path names? Those macros are for Visual Studio only and won't work in other programs.

"$(SolutionName)" is my visual studio environment variable and works and "..\\maps\\ProjectTest.wmb" works too, so how can they not be valid? Its only when i remove the ..\\maps\\ it does not work, yet the other folder (images) work without path. Strange. OK I set the proper path: add_folder("D:\\VISUAL STUDIO PROJECTS\\GAMEA7VC\\images\\"); etc... and all works as it should. Last edited by pararealist; 09/22/08 20:55.
