Irredit 1.5 not saving relative paths

3DModelerMan · Post by **3DModelerMan** » Thu Feb 12, 2009 3:27 pm

Irredit 1.5 doesn't seem to be saving my models as relative paths. If I look at the console window after calling loadScene(); it shows all my paths as absolute paths. Does this mean that they're all absolute? or does it mean that they are paths put together by the program when loadScene(); is called? If you want, I can give you a .exe so you can test it on another pc.

what about checking your file. Afaik it is a xml like format. So you should be able to check it yourself.

They show up fine in the file. I just don't understand why the console shows it absolute.

Yeah just check the file, should be fairly clear when you look at it.

But if the cmd output is stating absolute paths then it does sound like IrrEdit is making them absolute...

Did you setup your working directory properly in IrrEdit when you upgraded? I've been using IrrEdit 1.5 without any problems...

Have you set the working directory properly?

There is an option in the IrrEdit which allows to set the working directory, if you have that directory set, all the paths are saved relative to that directory.

It is under the options tab, i think, i don't remember it quite well now.

Yeah I set the working directory to the proper place. It's only the console that shows them as absolute.

Same question: how can i ask irrlicht engine to save relative paths when i do saveScene()?

I tried changeWorkingDirectoryTo() but it did not help.

Actually i heve .irr scene file with absolute paths and want to resave it with relative paths. How can i do this with c++?

easiest way: open file and do a "search and replace all"

. Will take less than 90 sec at all.

EDIT: of curse it does not solve the basic problem, but it is a very easy workaround.

ok. i can use replace once.

but how can i ask irrlicht to save relative paths? changeWorkingDirectoryTo()?

can you post the .irr xml that shows absolute path?
