Moving Torque system files to bin/ subdirectory (Windows)

So I added Awesomeium (It's amazing, thank you Mr. Lundmark) to my Torque project and was a little annoyed that I now had a very messy looking file structure in the root directory of my game. If you look at the file structure of, say, Dark Athena, Left 4 Dead 2 or almost any Unity or Unreal Engine game you will see the root directory usually only contains a handful of files, or even just the executable, with the rest loaded from a subdirectory. I've done my best (I've been in web-code land for a while please forgive the lack of polish) to emulate this in Torque, with the debug build loading DLL's from the bin/debug subdirectory. I've also renamed the log file and main.cs to match the TORQUE_APP_NAME definition.

This is totally a vanity thing but I feel that it makes the game seem more polished.

Step 1, include <string> at the top of mainLoop.cpp (because I'm a sucker for lazy coding). You can probably rewrite this to not use the std::string class fairly easily but as far as I know there's not real downside to using it--I'm assuming the reason C-style pointers are used is either because the code is from a legacy codebase (IDK when std::string was not a thing?) or it is somehow more memory efficient? Any light that can be shed on this would be very educational to me.

Secondly, In StandardMainLooop::HandleCommandLine, I've replaced the main.cs loading script (line 414 to 557 in my build) with:

std::string initScript;
size_t scriptNameSize = strlen(TORQUE_APP_NAME) + 17;
char *script = new char[scriptNameSize];
script[scriptNameSize] = 0;
initScript = "exec("bin/";
initScript += TORQUE_APP_NAME;
initScript += ".cs");";
dStrcpy(script, initScript.c_str());
Con::evaluatef(script);
delete[] script;

This was modified from Thoman Huehn's suggstion in the comments of this resource. It's the simplest solution I can think of for this, I know I've ham-fistedly massacred a chunk of code but for my purposes, it's what I needed.

Thirdly, include the string class in console.cpp and at about line 251-ish, replace the defLogFilename definition with:

std::string logDir = "bin/";
std::string logName = TORQUE_APP_NAME;
std::string logExtension = ".log";
std::string cppLogName = logDir + logName + logExtension;
static const char *defLogFileName = cppLogName.c_str();

Then lastly in main.cpp (no need to include the string class here, it already is) add the following on in getDllName() after the line 'dllName = std::wstring(filenameBuf);':

// Load our DLL from a subdirectory
std::wstring binDir = std::wstring();

// Are we debug? If so, put them in the Debug subdirectory
#ifdef TORQUE_DEBUG
   binDir = L"binDebug";
#else
   binDir = L"bin";
#endif

size_t lastDSPos = dllName.find_last_of(L"");
dllName.insert(lastDSPos, binDir);

std::wstring dllDir = dllName;
size_t dllDirDSPos = dllDir.find_last_of(L"");
dllDir.resize(dllDirDSPos);

// Make this our DLL Directory
SetDllDirectory(dllDir.c_str());

Now you can simply set your DLL(s) to build into the game/bin/ directory and move your main.cs (renamed to your project name!) there as well.

This is really hacky and I have no idea what effect it will have on multi-platform builds so I offer no confidence in either it or my coding ability.

Enjoy! ^_^
