Is there any way to detect that line of code which DBP is currently on? Would be essential for precise loading bar display.

Well i just had a vision about an all-the-time, by-every-line incrementing variable...

..Would pass on this one if possible

But it's gonna do it if there isn't any other options.

No it wouldn't.

Which line number of the following code would give you loading progress?


A better method (ie, one that works), would be to know that you had a number of resources to load, then count how many you have loaded and display that as a percentage.

For-next or not, their line numbers are still 1, 2 and 3...

Yeah the method at the end is the ultimate solution, though that's what i wanted to defeat by creating a ratio between lines to go, and lines passed.

Using the line number will either result in lots of duplicated code or a non-functional progress bar. Why not simply increase a counter each time you load in a resource and use that?
