Loading textures from resources.

[3DModelerMan]

Does Irrlicht have a way of loading textures from resources? I want to use the resource compiler to save a little space in my project. And so I need to be able to load the files from compiled resources.
Thanks.

I know it can either load zips/pk3s

Code: Select all

device->getFileSystem()->addZipFileArchive("filename")

or else it can load precompiled quake levels

Code: Select all

scene::IQ3LevelMesh*) sm->getMesh("filename");

Yeah I knew about those. I mean the resources that MSVC compiles into the program.

This is windows specific stuff, you need to do it in your app.

I wrote a cross platform Windows RSRC loader just before the 1.6 release, but it still needs a little work to bring it up-to-date with the changes that went in to the release.
You can find some info and links to the project here:
