Question about torque and files
by Brent Bagley · in Torque Developer Network · 02/08/2012 (3:37 pm) · 0 replies
I am fairly new to Torque. I have been programming in it for only a few months. I have a few simple questions, but I can't seem to find an answer on TDN, probably because I am not looking in the right place.
Some quick background info. I am making a map editor for my game. All the map data is stored in the appdata location under normal circumstances, but I want the user to be able to import map data from a file from a more convenient location on their computer (such as the desktop) and export the map file to those locations as well.
My questions:
1. Where can torque make and modify files on windows when not running in administrator mode?
2. Is it possible to open a browsing window so the user does not have to manually enter the location to import/export?
If anyone could direct me to where I can find this information I would be extremely grateful.
