    You shouldn't use absolute paths like "C:\\Games\\MyGame" since you don't know where the user may place it. If you're talking about folders inside the folder where your exe lies you should use relative paths, like "\\Maps". If your exe lies in C:\Games\MyGame, that path will evaluate to C:\Games\MyGame\Maps.

    i've already got that covered

    i knew that, i used a editable path file so that the user will change the address of the main game folder in the file and during the program it grabs that location and adds ot the end of it to access forlders that are in the main game folder.


    thx though for looking out for me.
