Loading Level problem

#1 I've never really understood the semantics of "~" in Torque filesystem calls. One workaround for you would be to add some debug output like this in levelManagement.cs

function t2dSceneWindow::loadLevel(%sceneWindow, %levelFile)
{
   warn("loading level" SPC  %levelFile);
...

Then look at the output when you load/unload levels in TGB level builder. Then use those same path-strings in your coding.

#2 I tried like this :

function levelload(%level)
{
		
	sceneWindow2D.endlevel();
	
	
	if( isFile( %level ) || isFile( %level @ ".dso"))
	{

		echo("loading ", %level);
      sceneWindow2D.loadLevel(%level);
				
	}else
        warn("level ", %level, " doesn't exist");
}

I see "loading ~/data/levels/level.t2d." but still "Error loading level ~/data/levels/level.t2d. Invalid file." and nothing happen, the level doesn't load. But the file I specify does exist and load well in level builder Oo

This is ALL what I wrote for loading the level, nothing more, did I forgot something important ?
Is calling this function simply "function levelload(%level)" is correct ?

#3 Try adding the debug code to levelManagement.cs as I suggested- my guess is you will see instead of of "~/data/..." you will see YourGame/data/levels/levlel.t2d
Just a hunch that the engine isn't recognizing the directory you are specifying in your call to loadLevel.
Here is some of my code that works

sceneWindow2D.loadLevel( %pOwner.getNextLevel() );

#4 Where getNextLevel is returning a string like "MLEggs/data/levels/L2.t2d"

#5 "YourGame/data/levels/levlel.t2d"

Well, it works ^^
It seems that "~" is a little fishy, its strange that the "is level" command doesn't stop on it.

Thanks Alex ^^

#6 I also ran into this. Here is the solution (using the original function):

function levelload( %level )
{		
   sceneWindow2D.endlevel();

   if( isFile( %level ) || isFile( %level @ ".dso") )
   {
      sceneWindow2D.loadLevel( expandFilename( %level ) ); // <- expandFilename call translates the ~
   }
}

Happy dev-ing!

#7 Nice. That expandFilename function saved me alot of research.
