OS and File IO Lib

[Almia]

Can somebody create these natives in Warcraft 3?

File IO by Nes is a bit limited.

 

[WaterKnight]

Are you referring to SharpCraft/modding? What do you see limited in Nes's?

 

[Almia]

Yes, SharpCraft

Like writing it's own data in files, without preloading or setting the data to the player's name.

 

[Zeatherann]

If sharpcraft can't do it yet, it will be able to do it soon enough. However, this method doesn't work for normal B-net users.

Here you go.

native FileCreate takes string filename returns nothing
native FileCopy   takes string filename, string dest returns nothing
native FileDelete takes string filename returns nothing
native FileWrite  takes string filename, string contents returns nothing
native FileAppend takes string filename, string contents returns nothing
native FileMove   takes string filename, string dest returns nothing
native FileRead   takes string filename returns string
native FileExists takes string filename returns boolean

native GetInstallPath takes nothing returns string

native OSVersion takes nothing returns string

 

[Almia]

How about IsDirectory, IsFile, Attributes?

 

[Arhowk]

Yes, SharpCraft

Like writing it's own data in files, without preloading or setting the data to the player's name.

Why?...

Preload natives work fine and theyre not buggy (not to mention work without installing SharpCraft)

the shit that doesnt work is synchronization.

e/ genius idea-

A .bat file is used to enable local files on the user's PC
can't we make that .bat file also throw in a hotfix for the SyncStoredString native?

Here you go.

native FileCreate takes string filename returns nothing
native FileCopy   takes string filename, string dest returns nothing
native FileDelete takes string filename returns nothing
native FileWrite  takes string filename, string contents returns nothing
native FileAppend takes string filename, string contents returns nothing
native FileMove   takes string filename, string dest returns nothing
native FileRead   takes string filename returns string
native FileExists takes string filename returns boolean

native GetInstallPath takes nothing returns string

native OSVersion takes nothing returns string

Cool. But just want to mention that OS plugin still has a script error.

I suggest limiting these natives so that you cant add extension, or it will automatically append .txt or something at the end of the file name, so you cant do what you can with preloads(Create bananas in "On system startup")
