Path Bases
Paths come in different forms and are useful depending on the context
| Path Base | Example | Uses |
|---|---|---|
| Absolute | D:/Revo2/game/revolution/materials/carpet/office_carpet.vmt | Writing to the file, storing in-memory indexes and caches |
| Root Relative | game/revolution/materials/carpet/office_carpet.vmt | Default way of representing files and storing file paths on disk |
| Game Relative | materials/carpet/office_carpet.vmt | Stored in assets. Saves writing game/revolution into assets, making them portable across game namespaces and saves repetition |
| Content Relative | materialsrc/carpet/office_carpet.png | Stored in assets. Similar to game relative |
| Material Path | carpet/office_carpet.vmt | Used in material contexts |
The type Shared.FileBrowser.PathBases can be used to differentiate between different paths
