Wether I use LibLoad or startGame and am loading blend files that reside in a different directoy then the current blend file, textures with relative paths can't get loaded and even libraries within the loaded blend that have relative paths are not loaded.%%%

%%%please provide an example blender file (or in this case a zipped file with the files in their right directory). Assigning to Campbell%%%

%%%Here is a simple setup that confirms the libload bug. But using the startGame seems fine with me. Also, this bug does not occur when the texture is packed.%%%

%%%r35661 should fix this. However, you have to add a "//" in front of relative paths for LibLoad().%%%

%%%So, I have a patch that will force all relative paths (paths that don't start with "/" or ":") to start with "" (unless the path already started with "*"). However, I think this will force all relative paths to be relative to the blend file and not relative to the present working directory, so I'm not sure about committing the change. Here is the patch: http://www.pasteall.org/33522/diff%%%

@brita This seems to be fixed. I tested in 2.71.2. Starting the path with '//' solves the problem. I made a proper test file for this. I'm not sure if I could close this so I'll leave that up to you (or someone else). Here's the test file. When starting the game two cubes will be LibLoaded, one with packed textures, one without. After two seconds 'Start Game From File' will activate. In all cases the textures show up as they should: texture_path_working.zip

Hi all,

I just checked the test blend and it is working in current master blender.

I'm going to close this report now. If any of you find some blend working wrong related to this issue, please feel free to open this task again.

Thank you all of you for the time spent here.
