New issue 336 by vanquish.harvester: Filepath relativity problem with
OBJWidget
http://code.google.com/p/pymt/issues/detail?id=336
Right now, the Obj Widget included in the examples fails to load any
texture that isn't in the project root folder. This makes it impossible to
put textures inside subfolders, as in root/assets/textures/myTexture.jpg
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Modify the 3Dviewer example to load an obj model file that has textures
(the default monkey has none)
2. place model and textures in an 'assets' subfolder (relative to your
module's path)
3. Start up the 3Dviewer example, giving it the filepath to the model
(which should include the 'assets' subfolder)
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The model should load with it's textures, but pygame throws an error saying
it couldn't load the texture file. Note that the filename is stripped of
any subfolders in the error message (it should be prefixed with subfolders
relative to the module's path).
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
PyMT 0.5 Portable on Win7 64-bit
Please provide any additional information below.
I believe that at some point in the texture loading routines, the filename
is being stripped of it's subfolder prefixes. Any subfolders specified with
the model name when calling the ObjWidget constructor should be also used
for textures. This would allow us to at least place the models and textures
in their own subfolders and not mess up the project's file structure
Cheers
