could we possibly add a feature to GE that would scan a specified directory for dat files, list them, and then let you decide which one to load?

You'd need to do this manually, which is a bit advanced

could you pm me a tutorial?

I'm sorry I don't dispose enough time at the moment ): but I will get to it when I can!
But this method would consist of loading a specific name, and somewhere add numbers for exemple if you wanted all files: "Level##.lvl", I could make it load from Level00.lvl until it reaches Level99.lvl or the end of the set.

you need to create a variable this could be "LevelN" for holding which level
then when you want to load the next level, do this:

Code: Select all

char* tstring;
sprintf(tstring,"Level%02d.lvl",LevelN);
LoadGame(tstring);

I know that's probably not what you wanted, but you can know when there are no more Level##.lvl files with fopen

Unfortunatly, you can't just search through directorys and get every filenames, this is the closest maybe.
Of course, makslane marks evert feature request so don't worry

alright ill do your method for now. thanks!
