After making pbo, functions not found

[Mr.Peanut]

Just tried to pbo my first mission and run it.  I kept all functions in a separate folder.  Everything worked fine in design mode but now that I've pbo'd, it tells me it can't find the functions... help......

what path did you use in the 'preprocess' command? is it the entire mission path or just the folder path?

probably nothing to do with that, but it's a reasonable guess...

[Mr.Peanut]

example line from init.sqs

Code: [Select]

SortBubble = preprocessFile "function/sortbubble.sqf"

I don't think you can call them via :

Code: [Select]

myfunction = preprocessfile "\myfolder\myfunction.sqf"
Use :

Code: [Select]

myfunction = loadFile "\myfolder\myfunction.sqf"

[Mr.Peanut]

O crap... seems subfolders do not work for functions after mission has been pbo'd, even though scripts are fine. Can anyone confirm this?

[Blanco]

ow, ok, I thought you were talking about an addon pbo. You are talking about a mission pbo.
You can use subfolders but don't rename the mission when you export it as SP/MP mission.

[Mr.Peanut]

Okay,

Seems that PreProcessFile does not like subfolders, but LoadFile does.

Funny this is not mentioned in the sqf tutorial.  Anybody else care to elaborate on the differences? I will post as a comment to the tutorial.

Try

Code: [Select]

the_func = preprocessFile "..\function\sortbubble.sqf"
That should work in AddOns, so why not in missions...
preprocessFile seems to have some hostility againts subfolders...
loadFile does not support any kind of comments (/**/, //, comment {}..) so it will give error messages if the function uses some...

If this works btw, I'm not to 'blame'
I was told about this 'trick' a while ago...
