Directories?

[Enerccio]

Renpy support aditional directories in game directory?
And if yes, they can be compiled in archive?

[PyTom]

Yes, we will automatically archive files in the game directory, and in all its sub-directories.

and so how i can acess the files in thiese sudirectories?
Like my path to image is:
c:\Documents and

Code: Select all

Settings\Enerccio\Desktop\renpy-6.1.0\2200AD\game\images\ayaki_normal\ayakia.png

so how can i call that image in game?
like image a present normal = "images\ayaki_normal\ayakia.png"
?

You need to use forward-slashes (/) rather than back-slashes (\), but other than that you are correct.

bkackslashes dont work for me... but when i write two backshlashes it works somehow...

A single backslash simply 'escapes' the following character - it's a special feature used to get newlines ("blah\n blah") and quotes ("So he said \"Yay!\"...") and so on into strings. A double-backslash is the escape code to get a single backslash in the resulting string, which is why that works.

On the other hand, backslashes don't work as part of the path on non-Windows systems, where as I understand it forward slashes do work as part of the path on Windows and non-Windows systems, so you should always use forward-slashes anyway for compatibility reasons.

Jake is right on the money. Don't use backslashes unless you don't want your game to work on Linux and Mac.

okay i replaced backslashes with other ones

Damn, why even in this windows and other platforms are different???

Hh. Do I have to do this for imagepaths too? (If I stick them in sub-directories?)

I don't recall it being a problem.

[PyTom]

Yes, you need to do it for image paths as well, if you want your game to work on Linux and Mac. (Hm... I should probably make lint check for this, if it doesn't already.)
