Build PBO mikero file not found

[Migal 1]

Hi, It I'm building my first little addon.

If I create the PBO with BI addonBuilder everything goes well but I need a command line tool to build the addon, so I'm trying to use mikero's.

If I build the addon with mikero's makePBO it gives an error for missing files.

Missing files are icon picture in a subfolder.

 

The addon line is:

 

icon = "ric_zonedefiner\data\cp.paa"

 

The building command is:

Quote

MakePbo.exe -X="scripts, note" "addons/ric_zonedefiner"

 

 

and the   output is:

 

Quote

rapWarning: **********missing file(s)***************
C:\Users\Migal\Documents\Arma3work\@RIC_ZonesDefiner\addons/ric_zonedefiner\cfgVehicles.hpp circa Line 27: ric_zonedefiner\data\cp.paa

rapWarning: **********missing file(s)***************

data\cp.paa:loading...
</end entries>
Missing File Summary
cfgVehicles.hpp : ric_zonedefiner\data\cp.paa
missing file(s)

 

I tryed to change backslash to slash: mikeros compile well and produce the pbo but using the mod on arma3 give an error for file missing.

 

Thank you for your help.

TL:DR . Simply put. How can I reference a file in a subfolder with mikero's tools?

Shouldn't need to as its already referenced in the config.cpp. The fact that its not "working" means either the path is wrong, or the file isn't where the path says it is.

 

EDIT: Upon a second read, try inserting a '\' at the beginning of the path so it becomes:

icon = "\ric_zonedefiner\data\cp.paa";

As a side note, why are you not using the correct texture-naming type for your icon, which at a guess would be '_ca.paa' if it contains some form of transparency

Should that not be a backslash?

I thought that too, but it seems to be finding the file to read it, so I figured MakePBO allowed for / and/or \ to be somewhat interchangeable
