How to load Files in Sub-Folders in the SRB2 folder!

[A-star]

Those people who say the File you want to add into SRB2 has to be in the main SRB2 folder, they are now lying!

In the console just put in:

addfile \<subfolder>\<addon>

or for SOCs

runsoc \<subfolder>\<addon>

Yes,that's all there is to it.

Notes:

• This will not allow you to load files that are not a Sub-folder in SRB2!
• ignore Parenthesis "(" and ")" in this post

But see, sometimes when you do this and you're hosting a netgame, the netgame shuts down saying the file wasn't found. Then if you re-add it before hosting it works, which I find totally annoying >>;;;

actually I don't find adding files in the middle of a Netgame good anyway. Even if

maxsend

is on, it would still kick all the players who don't have the WAD. THen,they would have to rejoin,and that is a pain.

True, but sometimes SOCs need to be re-ran due to mixing of various SOCs...

I don't do that I swear! *shot*

Mixing SOCs= bad.

First, they aren't "lying". This was an actual issue at one point, but has since been fixed. But the fix really isn't common knowledge.

Also, I'm pretty certain you don't need to use that method. ADDFILE/RUNSOC should work fine with just the WAD name there.

DW is right. I always put ym WADs in subfolders and just have to do ADDFILE wad.wad, not ADDFILE subfolder/wad.wad.

Actually, it is somewhat buggy for what I seem. Normally, you don't need to specify the subfolder. But if you already started a server, it seems you need. Weird. Probably somebody forgotten to do copypasta somewhere :P

I use addfile for SOCs aswell as WADs...
