Theater Idea
I have a problem with disk space but have a CD writer.
My question is: can a theater work off a CD thats in the drive while running falcon if the file that states where a theaters directorys are located points to a disk?

Re: Theater Idea
The theater definition files say like:
# where the terrain data is
terraindir terrdata\Vietnam
# where art is loaded from
artdir artvietnam
So I assume it defaults to the falcon dir as "root" dir, so no... it does not work from CD-ROM (different partition).
Someone with better knowledge can of course correct me.

Re: Theater Idea
Yes - it should work. If the pathname looks like it is a full path then it will be used as a full path, and won't prepend the falcon base directory.
So if it starts with a
<letter>: - as in f:/...
or
// - as in //machine/foo
then it will be used directly. So you could put the terrain on another disk, or a CD without problems.
terraindir s:/cddata/theater
