Add3DArchive()

Syntax

Add3DArchive(Path$, Type)

Add a new absolute or relative path to the current 3D path list. All the 3D commands which need to load a data (texture, mesh, sky, @link""RenderWorld" "world", ...) use this path.

You may wonder why there is a special way to handle the files for 3D commands ? Because it makes the data access more flexible and now, you can access the data in the standard filesystem or directly in archive file, like .zip. It's a very cool feature, as you can pack all you data in one big compressed file and access them as it was a standard directory.

'Type' can be one of the following value:

  #PB_3DArchive_FileSystem : Standard directory
  #PB_3DArchive_Zip        : Compressed zip file

Example:

  Add3DArchive("MyData.zip", #PB_3DArchive_Zip) ; Add the .zip as a directory in the path
  LoadTexture(0, "MyTexture.jpg")               ; load the MyTexture.jpg from the zip
  LoadTexture(1, "World\Grass.jpg")             ; load the Grass.jpg from the zip, in the World\ path
