I've run into a small issue.
I use PhysFS as the file interface to load all my data and so forth.
However, now I have a file that I need to read and write to on the hard drive. I also have a directory to make on the user path.
However, it appears that PhysFS has control and trying to make a directory in c:/users/.... is failing because PhysFS is looking for it in my archive (I think).
How can I get normal paths and virtual paths to work together?
can't you mount the system fs on its own virtual mount in physfs?
I'm not sure what the syntax should be.
I tried:
PHYSFS_addToSearchPath("/", 1)
Edit:
setting the interface is not working.
ALLEGRO_PATH* path = al_get_standard_path(ALLEGRO_USER_DATA_PATH); std::string pathStr; pathStr += al_path_cstr(path,ALLEGRO_NATIVE_PATH_SEP); al_set_standard_file_interface(); bool made = al_make_directory(pathStr.c_str()); int eno = al_get_errno(); m_settingsPath = pathStr; al_destroy_path(path);
make directory is failing and when I check with the debugger, the make directory receives a vtable for physfs.
Try al_set_standard_fs_interface. Don't ask why they are separate things.
Oh, thanks. I had not even realized that there were 2 functions.
