Reading files outside the Torque Directory?

#1 I have been trying to do this also the past couple of days. I want my game to read the game zip from the applications data folder i have made some progress but it still doesn't work all the way

#2 I confess, this was kind of a trick question. There's a bug that allows you to read any file on the computer or write to any directory through script. I was wondering if anyone actually knew it existed, since it could be quite a problem if your game allows user-submitted content for example.

#3 well yea if you use the original main.cs and just call loadmods(directfilepath) it will load the files but the base directory will still be in the root of the exe

#4 I mean, it can read outside of mod paths too. If a game restricts mod path setting as a protective measure, you can bypass it.

#5 yea that is what i was saying :p you can load any file from any were as long as you specify the absolute file path.
