ozu_File 1.2 by ozubon Introduction Using Node.js' file system module can be a hassle. Getting it to work both in playtest and after deployment seems to be something people are having trouble it. This aims to give some easy to use functions as tools for manipulating the game folder's files using Node.js – both for people who've tried implementing the .fs module and failed and for anyone with basic script call knowledge who wants to play with files. Does not work on mobile! Features This plugin allows you to do things with your game files and folders from within the game itself. file.exist will check whether a file exists or not file.write will write or overwrite a file with the text you enter file.append will add text to an already existing file file.read will read a file and output its contents as text file.rename will rename a file to the filename you enter file.erase will permanently delete a file How to use Spoiler: file.exist file.exist Checks if a file in your game folder exists or not. Intended for the conditional branch script box. Code: file.exist("path", "file.type") "" for path means the main game folder, "" for file checks if folder exists These all return TRUE: Code: file.exist("", "index.html") file.exist("data", "") file.exist("img/system", "Window.png") This returns FALSE unless it exists: Code: file.exist("asdf/gh", "jkl.txt") Screenshot example: Spoiler: file.write file.write Writes a new file with the desired data. Intended for script calls. Code: file.write("path", "file.type", "stuff") "" for path means the main game folder, the rest is required. Some examples: Code: file.write("", "tanoshindekudasai.txt", "Arigato gozaimasu") Code: file.write("data", "test.json", "Can it write to JSON?") Screenshot example: Spoiler: file.append file.append Same as file.write but writes to the end of an existing file instead of overwriting it. Intended for script calls. Code: file.append("path", "file.type", "new stuff") "" for path means the main game folder, the rest is required. Some examples: Code: file.append("", "tanoshindekudasai.txt", "!!!") Code: file.append("data", "test.json", " Yes.") Screenshot example: Spoiler: file.read file.read Reads a file and outputs a string of what's in it. Intended for conditional branches and setting variables. Code: file.read("path", "file.type") "" for path means the main game folder, the rest is required. This will return TRUE in a conditional branch (if tanoshindekudasai.txt is exactly "Arigato gozaimasu!!!"): Code: file.read("", "tanoshindekudasai.txt") === "Arigato gozaimasu!!!" Using Control Variables, set a variable to Code: file.read("", "tanoshindekudasai.txt") and the variable will be set to "Arigato gozaimasu!!!" or whatever tanoshindekudasai.txt contains. Screenshot example: Spoiler: file.rename file.rename Renames a file, careful not to rename important files. Intended for script calls. Code: file.rename("path", "file.type" "new name.type") "" for path means the main game folder, the rest is required. Some examples: Code: file.rename("", "tanoshindekudasai.txt", "ieie.txt") Code: file.rename("data", "test.json", "johnromero.json") Screenshot example: Spoiler: file.erase file.erase Do not use this one unless you know what you're doing! Permanently deletes a file, be VERY careful not to erase important files. Intended for script calls. Code: file.erase("path", "file.type") "" for path means the main game folder, the rest is required. Some examples: Code: file.erase("", "ieie.txt") Code: file.erase("data", "johnromero.json") Screenshot example: Terms of use You don't have to credit me but I'd appreciate it!

@TJz I don't think people would like that, at least not me when that happens.
the game folder is mostly accessable, but there is a write "path" location to
do that, but I would personally hate that.

Having a lot of trouble comparing strings with line breaks. Doesn't matter whether I use \n or not, comparing any string with a line break always returns as false. Has anyone else cracked the code on this?
