Full Path of Files Referenced Relative to the Scripts

by Demolishun · in Torque Game Engine · 09/17/2006 (8:38 pm) · 4 replies

I am integrating a fuzzy logic library in torque called FFLL (BDS license). I need to load a file but am not sure how to get a full path so it can load it reliably. I want to specify the path of the file in a datablock then when the file name is viewed by the C++ code it can load the file using the FFLL code. There is only one function that loads the code inside the library. I am thinking about modifying thier code, but was hoping I could find the full path in the meantime.

Thanks

    How full of a path are you looking for?

    Look for the source to Con::expandScriptFilename(). That, coupled with a call to getcwd() (or ::GetCurrentDirectory()) ought to get you where you want to go.

    Ben,
    Enough to get into the data directories to retrieve files. I am hoping the data directories will be relative to where the executable is at.

    JW,
    I will check those out.

    Thanks

    In that case, expandScriptFilename is what you want. The resource manager also has some helper functions on it that could be useful to you.
