<blockquote>
|
|
<p>Assets are distributed by packs, which can come in either archived or, for development purposes, folder form.
|
|
{twn} games operate in a sandboxed filesystem and operate strictly on supplied content.
|
|
|
|
<p>Archives are limited to zip format, with .btw file extension.
|
|
|
|
<p>One pack by the name of 'data' is always assumed to be present alongside executable,
|
|
whether in folder /data/ or /data.btw archive, where precedence is taking over for /data/ folder variant.
|
|
|
|
<p>Root /data/ could be used to point to other packs in its /packs/data.toml file.
|
|
It results in a union filesystem, where directory structures are overlaid on top of each other.
|
|
|
|
<p>Packs which are loaded first have precedence over later ones, preserving their contents.
|
|
For example, if /assets/foo exists in root /data/, and another /assets/foo is found elsewhere,
|
|
only the root /data/ version will be available.
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
# Example of data.toml file
|
|
# `deps` array of tables is loaded sequentially, where dependencies of dependencies are processed first before continuing.
|
|
|
|
[[deps]]
|
|
source = "../../common-data" # where does it come from
|
|
name = "common-data" # should be a globally unique identifier</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Compilation utility might later be available to combine packs for easier distribution.
