Works great Josh and many thanks!

Just tried it and it worked great, added comment --skybox_texture.mat to app.lua and it then included the Skybox setting, that I had put in Scene Root.

Okay, that's something else I missed. You should not have to add that yourself. Please let me know if you find any other mistakes.

So I my situation (not sure if you have read it) I have over a hundred sound files located in 1 folder: "Sounds/Nature". These sounds are dynamically loaded. It would be great if I could specify the folder instead of listing every single file.

@Gonan, I updated it so it will catch skybox files.

 

@Aggror, that is an exception. You should be smart enough to just keep a clean directory and don't use this feature.

To go along with this, how about an option to clean the directory of all files not detected to be used? Or to perhaps flag them somehow in the assets tree?

No, that will not be implemented.

I'm entirely happy with this solution. A sane, simple and safe automated system for the more basic projects out there and the old "include everything" system that allows for total control but also requires it.

 

Let's not bend over backwards for this non-issue.

Although I take exception to your stab there Josh, I do appreciate your taking the matter on and fixing the issue that WILL effect many users both NEW and OLD!

 

For those that this helps, Im happy to have beena part in it, for the rest of you, nothing

What stab?

Again, just to be clear, when you reference "script" you mean source files too, right? So a comment like

// myfile.tex

would be picked up in any c or cpp file, right? Or just in App.cpp?

I think he meant:

 

A few people suggested a "tagging" system so the user can mark files to be included or not. This is a very bad idea.

 

He's probably expecting more business speak .

 

"I don't think a tagging system is the way to go for Leadwerks"

 

Nobody likes hearing their idea is a very bad one

@ Josh " You should be smart enough to just keep a clean directory and don't use this feature." Obvioulsy, im not a smart person and am incapable of this. If thats the dividing line. All good buddy. You cant touch my feelers

 

I mentioned the tagging system once as a spit ball. Thats business speak for bouncing ideas off the wall to see what sticks and might work. Its part of the successful plan ive used for years to collaborate with others about project ideas and processes ro find a solution. Im saddened so few took part in that process, yet im delighted that it got implemented so fast and executed so well.t As stated in a PM to Josh, again, thank you for the time and effort put forth in this issue, Im sure many many others will find it exceptionally useful.

Market conditions indicate at this time that the idea proposed would not leverage sufficient synergy to promote holistic achievement of our total not-sucking strategy (TNSS).

Yes.

PLease also add this to the user guide. The readers of this blog know it now, but future users will not.

if this remark is in main script, why not use a function RequiredFile("myfile.tex"),

it can write a file list and also check if the file exist.

but means u need run the game once and then publish.

or both together, the user can choose.

i wish we get the same file list at runtime.

can't get the zombie sounds at publish.

also i had add them in remark.

maybe because spaces in folder name?

i had in remark also try _ for space.
