Well, does it really need to be a single archive? can't you just load the encounter file and then look for relevant .shp files in the same directory?th15 wrote:Anyways, the encounters already work, it's just that I'm having trouble with the file system. The plan is to stuff the encounter data and .shp files into a compressed archive but currently the archived files are broken. I wanted to do this so that you could retrieve the individual .shp files from an encounter just like opening a .zip file if you wanted to. I'm still trying to get it to work, but if it doesn't then I'll just have to merge everything into one file myself.

To be honest, it'd be a pain in the ass to make sure I have the ships in the right folders (I tend to organize), and that I'd have to download ships to run an encounter. I don't even know what you mean by the second part.Kaelis wrote:Well, does it really need to be a single archive? can't you just load the encounter file and then look for relevant .shp files in the same directory?th15 wrote:Anyways, the encounters already work, it's just that I'm having trouble with the file system.

Your approach also introduces redundancy, since for each encounter using a certain ship that ships blueprint needs to be included in an archive.
I am assuming that encounter makers would include ships theyve used anyway.Müg wrote:To be honest, it'd be a pain in the ass to make sure I have the ships in the right folders (I tend to organize), and that I'd have to download ships to run an encounter.
