Location/Reading custom xml files

[dizzy]

The .murlres package can easily be used to host any type of custom files. Simply specify your resource inside the package.xml file using the type="BINARY" attribute:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<Package id="Main">
    <Resource type="BINARY" id="MyXmlFile" fileName="my_fancy_file.xml"/>
</Package>

You can then access that file from e.g. a logic class' OnInit() method like this:

Bool App::MyLogic::OnInit(const Logic::IState* state)
{
    const Resource::ICollection* resourceCollection = state->GetResourceCollection();
    const Resource::IBinary* myXmlFile = resourceCollection->GetBinary("Main:MyXmlFile");

	const ConstData& myXmlFileDataObject = myXmlFile->GetData();
    
	const UInt8* data = myXmlFileDataObject.GetData();
	UInt32 byteSize = myXmlFileDataObject.GetByteSize();

	// Do something useful...

    return true;
}
