Virtual Files path with spaces ?

When you setup a new virtual file and specify the path to where the 'real' file is located, can that patch contain spaces ?

I've setup virtual files for:
eqclient.ini
eqlsPlayerData.ini
charname_server.ini
UI_charname_server.ini

But, for some reason they are not being used :(
The only thing I can think of is that the space in the path is causing a problem.

Here is my configuration http://pastebin.com/an49fYJ3

Re: Virtual Files path with spaces ?

Using an absolute path for the "virtualize as" filename isn't currently supported, it's nothing to do with spaces ;)

It may technically work for some files but not for others, or at certain times but not for others: If the game isn't specifying the path to the file, it will work to use an absolute path. If it is, then it might end up trying to open ".\E:\Game Files\Utilities\InnerSpace\Virtual Files\Character1Name\eqclient.ini" for example for eqclient.ini (as I recall it opens ".\eqclient.ini") ... which isn't a valid path so it will probably just fail to open it altogether (hence the error you said in your other post)

I'll have to patch Inner Space if you want to use absolute paths. I'll get back to you on that

Ok, I'll move the files into \EverQuest\ for now then.

Thanks.
