Specifying locations of binary files

Post by **Dave** » June 15th, 2004, 2:38 pm

In order to allow campaign developers to provide entire campaigns that go under a single directory, I've added a new feature to WML which allows specification of a path to look for binary files.

At the top level, you can add a tag as follows:

Code: Select all

[binary_path]
path=data/mycampaign/binary
[/binary_path]

Then, whenever Wesnoth loads images, it will look in the directories

[wesnoth-path]/data/mycampaign/binary/images/
$HOME/.wesnoth/data/mycampaign/binary/images/ (or equivalent on non-Unix systems)

Likewise, when looking for sound effects, it will look in the directories

[wesnoth-path]/data/mycampaign/binary/sounds/
$HOME/.wesnoth/data/mycampaign/binary/sounds/ (or equivalent on non-Unix systems)

This should enable campaign makers to package their entire campaign below one directory.

surprisingly simple.

I assume you mean this goes in the primary campaign.cfg file, or simply in the campaign directory?
