Hi there,

following thing, we read some txt files out with additional text information for the player, for something like an diary. This runs perfect in debug mode, but when compiling it, it doesn't work and gives out a [null].
Is it not possible to put the txt files in a package? Or do we need a workaround?

It should be possible. In what way exactly are you using the text file in your scripts?

function Hilfetext_ON()
{
   var TextFile = new File("txt\hilfe\hilfe_" + story + ".txt");
   TextFile.OpenAsText(1);
   helpscreen = PDAWin.GetWidget("helpscreen");
   helpscreen.Text = TextFile.ReadText(TextFile.Length);
   TextFile.Close();
   helpscreen.AlphaColor = MakeRGBA(255, 255, 255, 0);
}

Thats the way how they get loaded. The "txt" is the packagefolder, the rest of the path are subfolders.

If 'txt' is the name of the package, it shouldn't be included in the path when referencing the file. That's the cause of your problem.

Thanks, it works now.
