| Summary | 0001642: Textures in freespace2/data can't be found if a mod is used | ||||
| Description | Haven't tested this with other file types yet, but I suspect it'll happen with them, too, as I can toggle it by turning -mod on and off. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

It will only look directly for files on disk for root[0], with everything else being cached. Textures would have to be in data/maps/, under any non-root[0] directory to be found since image types aren't cached under data/ directly. In other words, what you seem to be describing is the exact behavior that it's programmed to do. If you mean that it can't find them under freespace2/data/maps/ then that's a different story, but you aren't really clear on that. |

WCM, are you sure? I've just tested with 20080321 trunk build and mediavps 3.6.10 beta. As I've got these mediavps unpacked in several different folders (-mod mediavpsnewadv,mediavpsnewassets,MediaVpsNewCore,mediavpsneweffects,mediavpsnewmusic,sparky_fs2), I can test quite easily. I've just moved Aeolus-HTL.dds texture from mediavpsnewassets\data\maps to just \data\maps And I swear that the ship renders fine in F3 lab. |

No update so I'm guessing this is a non-issue. |

It's not really an issue, I suppose, although it did cost me some time during testing as I hadn't expected it to be any different from any other directory. What was the reasoning for the behavior? |
|
|
1) It has always been like that. 2) It isn't necessary if the files are placed in the proper locations in the first place since they will be added to the cache on init. 3) It doesn't make any sense to hit the disk searching in every root, considering how slow that would make loading any file. |
