I use agk:penToRead(). or OpenToWrite(). it's not the same path as the project, how should I change it?
I sent my game to a client, but he couldn't play the game. the game can't load level files.

Assuming Tier 1, you would have a directory named media. And you would make any sub directories under that.

I'm now working in Tier 2, having converted my Tier 1 project. And I kept the media directory for simplicity. And it does.

For accessing (read or write) files, I add '/media/' ahead of any file name. This works very well on all the platforms I've tested it on (Windows, iOS 5.1/6.0 and Android 3.2/4.0).

And the AppGameKit engine will create the directories and files specified, when you write stuff, in the app's work area (most platforms sand box apps).

If you avoid using the SetFolder and SetDirectory commands and just explicitly add the path to file references, you should be okay.

Cheers,

I confirm what Ancient Lady wrote. I never use setFolder, setDirectory, they are really buggy commands, so I use explicit path: in 1.064 I used "levels\level1.xml", in 1.07x it should be "media\levels\level1.xml", although I confess that, in order to avoid problems, I throw everything into the media folder, ugly practice but it works for sure.
Since I have got no willing to shift to Tier-2 for a number of reasons disseminated into one hundred of posts , I assume that the next release 1.08 shall fix the issues, trying to be, at least once in my life, optimistic.
