Load map from elsewhere

[ismellike]

I know how to do Level level = Level.Load("name"),but I want to know how to load a level from a different directory. I know it's possible since every game system does it, but I haven't been able to figure out how.
I've tried Level level= Level.Load("directory path", "name of map", "", MapType.Freebuild, false);, it didn't work.

I haven't find any method for Level.Find() for a derectory. The only argument you can give is the name.
Level.Load() does the same.

It's ok I found something that worked.

I did File.Copy(lvl.location,static map name,true); <- that won't compile, but it is to give you an idea.
and then I did Level.Load

I only did the above for a little game I was making on my server.

hmm... What if you do

Code: Select all

string path = string.Format(@"{0}\levels\{your name here}", Application.StartupPath)
using (System.IO.Directory.Create(path)){}
using (System.IO.File.Create(string.Combine(path + "\{level name here}.lvl")), 1024)

and then this:

Code: Select all

Level.Load(@"{your direcory here}\{name of map here}");

What will happen? You have a sub-directory in maps for your plugin level, and that can load I think.
