Register abstract paths for Editor resources

[TylerH]

Specifically for Vex, we store our assets as an external on our SVN, and keeping the Editor in the bin folder with the game executable.

 

Like this:

SVN Root/Assets

SVN Root/Bin/Editor.exe

 

For that reason, it would be great if we could add abstract paths to the Editor for loading resources from different places.

 

Cheers,

Right now you can set one path for everything to be loaded from, in Options>Paths>Game path.

 

One quick way to add more paths is you could create a script in the "Scripts/start/" folder and add the lines to register those extra abstract paths.

 

I actually always keep the editor in a separate folder from the engine, because the source code needs to be separate.

Ah, ok. That start script idea is great, thank you .

Having multiple paths is a nice idea. I really like good old Worldcraft, and how they have a million buttons and little windows for everything you do. Something like that with an ability to add paths would be nice.
