How to implement custom resource? Topic is solved

[slapin]

Hi, all!
I need to implement custom plain text resource type and use it as script (Lua).
I looked at quite some tutorials and none worked. Is there some working
example which works for Ogre master branch?

Generally I need for Ogre resource system to load/unload it on demand from defined paths,
if resource system is overkill for that I'd like to see alternate solutions.

Found much simpler way:

Code: Select all

Ogre::DataStreamPtr stream = Ogre::ResourceGroupManager::getSingleton().openResource("data.lua", "LuaScripts", NULL, false);

Now I want to load all Lua scripts...

why dont you use plain std::ifstream?

This is simply perfect:

Code: Select all

               Ogre::DataStreamList streams = Ogre::ResourceGroupManager::getSingleton().openResources("*.lua", "LuaScripts");
                while (!streams.empty()) {
                        Ogre::DataStreamPtr s = streams.front();
                        std::cout << "stream: " << s->getAsString() << "\n";
                        streams.pop_front();
                        luaL_dostring(L, s->getAsString().c_str());
                }

Because I want Ogre to load for me, for cross-platforminess and less problems sake.
Otherwise I'll have to invent the same thing forever. Ogre has its resource paths and groups
so all I need is to use them.
