Added new resource dir, but engine can’t find it?

I’ve used the following example to create a new project, instead of my old stuff:

I’m trying to get things more standardized and using CMake and everything. Unfortunately, this new system can’t detect my custom data folder.

engineParameters_["ResourcePaths"] = "GameData;Data;CoreData";

I keep getting Failed to add resource path 'GameData', check the documentation on how to set the 'resource prefix path'. Am i missing something? The data folders are inside the bin folder of my project, at the same level as the executable.

You may need to ensure your prefix path is also setup properly.

engineParameters_[EP_RESOURCE_PREFIX_PATHS] = "../../Contents;../../Base/path/to/gamedata;"
engineParameters_[EP_RESOURCE_PATHS] = "CoreData;Data;GameData;";

So you might store CoreData and Data in /Contents, while GameData is stored in the second path for prefix paths.

That didn’t solve the issue. However, i’ve downloaded the newest Urho3D version and i’ve noticed that the CMake thing has changed. I was using the old Urho3D-CMake-common and now i’m using UrhoCommon and define_resource_dirs. Worked like a charm.

Ah, sorry that didn’t help, but I’m glad you figured out the solution

Edit: When you say you downloaded the latest version, do you mean from the site, or that you pulled the latest changes from the master branch? Just curious, as I’m probably a few commits behind from the latest changes on the master branch and I’m now wondering if there has been some major changes with how resources directories are setup.

I’m using the latest master.

The setup is largely the same. The new define_resource_dirs() macro merely just capitalizes the existing flexibility of the Urho3D engine in setting up the resources.

I see, thanks for explaining that! I’ll update my branch later tonight to ensure I have everything properly setup on my end.
