| Summary | 0001575: show-subtitle doesn't check VP files for images | ||||
| Description | Like the summary says. Try to use show-subtitle to display some kind of image. Say a .jpg or a .tga. If the files reside in data/missions they will display. If they are in data/missions in a VP... they don't. | ||||
| Additional Information | Minor annoyance as if you wish you use subtitles in your campaign you can't bundle them nicely in your VP. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

Image file types much be in a supported cache directory in order to be used. That means data/interface, data/maps or data/effects. Only image file types in those locations will be available in a VP. The same thing goes for files on the disk, except for a few exceptions, like with data/missions. The data/missions directory is cached, but also physically checked any file type, since that directory can get multi missions installed while the game is running and the cache can't handle those which makes the physical check needed. So, this isn't a bug, you just got by with a hack to get around a multiplayer data issue by putting those images in data/missions. Simply put them in the right place and it should work fine. |
