SA2 PC: ReplaceFile function doesn't work with .pak texture files about sa2-mod-loader HOT 3 CLOSED

Wrong repo.

from sa2-mod-loader.

I did a simple test where I renamed sonictex.pak in a mod to sonictex2.pak and then used the ReplaceFiles section in mod.ini to redirect the file, and it worked fine, so I'm really not sure what's going wrong here.

As it turns out, there is no problem with the mod loader being able to replace .pak files. The problem, as it were, is that the mod loader only replaces the path used to load the file, not the filename string used to access the data inside said file, which expects the original file name instead of the replaced one. If you save the .pak with the file's original name and then rename it, it loads fine, at the cost of needing to rename it again before being able to edit it.
