add_folder(char* name);

add_resource(char* name);

Parameters:

Remarks:

• Files for the media player, or DLL files can not be loaded from the folder or resource path. However they can be contained in a resource and decompressed at run time by file_cpy.
• A resource file does not consume memory. Only when a file is read out of a resource, memory is allocated.
• add_resource also accepts a buffer with the content of a resource file as argument. This way, resource files can be read by user functions or wrapped together with the executable. The engine detects automatically whether a file name or a resource buffer is used. The user is responsible for freeing the buffer at the end of the application.
• A maximum of 32 folders and resources can be added.  A7.08  Resources in the work folder are added automatically. All added folders, resources, and buffers are removed through the add_new function.

Speed:

Example:

add_folder("c:\\test");
add_resource("test.wrs");
...
char* buffer = file_load("test2.wrs",NULL,NULL);
add_resource(buffer);
...
free(buffer);
sys_exit(NULL);
