Loading Files From The Current Directory?

are you talking about loading lua files? then use either 'require' or 'dofile' that are inherent lua commands that do not work with abstract pathing. if you are talking about loading materials, models, textures, etc, then you have to just use the path base on where the engine.exe/scripteditor is being ran from...

for example:

texture = LoadTexture("Materials/cobblestones.dds")

where the engine.exe is located in the root directory that has a materials folder inside with the texture.

 

also, note this is the LE3 forum not the LE2 forum ;)

well not exactly... its more related to where the engine.exe is located, but if you use the scripteditor then it is looking to run the engine.exe that should be located in the same folder as the scripteditor... unless of course you change the script editor's default file path for the engine.exe located in the Tools>Options dialog...
