Magus1724 Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 So I know that you can have a resource either in a folder or in a zip file and they both work the same way, but I thought of this earlier today: What if you have a zip of a resource and then a folder of another resource (or a different version of the same resource). Which one would take precedence? Or what would happen in that case Just a weird case that I though of and was wondering about.
Dark Dragon Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 the zip folder is the important part, mta extracts it to a folder (resource caches) to run it. if you change anything in the zip file it will use the new input (after refresh and restart).
Magus1724 Posted March 28, 2008 Author Posted March 28, 2008 Oh so the folders that are run are actually those in the resource caches? My bad I used to extract a folder of the zips I wanted to use in the resources folder (for easier viewing/editing). So I guess those are always copied to the cache every time they are run and overwritten if they are different?
AlienX Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 Correct, in theory you are using more HDD space using ZIP's than acctually using a folder - but its not much
