But I got an invalid pointer error with add_resource in the code below (don't really understand why): (note: for some reason the code tags seem to convert double backslash to single backslash) Code: char* wrs_buffer; int wrs_size = 0; ... void blablabla () { wrs_buffer = file_load("D:\GStudio8\just a subfolder\MyGame\mygame.wrs", &wrs_size, &wrs_size); if (wrs_size > 0) { error("wrs found"); <- check add_resource(wrs_buffer); <- gives invalid pointer error ...
