#419 closed enhancement (fixed)

Remove assumptions of a file-based install

Reported by: ibboard Owned by: ibboard
Priority: major Milestone: WarFoundry API 0.2
Component: WarFoundry-API Version: Unknown or N/A
Keywords: files resources Cc:
Blocked By: Blocking: #418

Description

The existing libraries assume that the main install will be file-based and that we can find files (e.g. schemas and default data files) relative to the executable. We should move away from this and to a resource-based system for two reasons:

1) This assumption doesn't hold on Android
2) It was a bad idea for a lot of our files anyway, because people can delete important files, which isn't possible with resources
