[Help] Adding external files in compiled games(C#)

Though it is not wrong, I would say it is easier just to consider a folder next to the exe file since the data path is somewhere deep down into windows/mac system.

It is said in the question that user is asked to add his own models so he may want to keep it simple.

Thanks for the answer I'll look into it.

@fafalse it's specifically because of $$anonymous$$ac compatibility that I suggested this route. The user may not be able to write to the program's install folder without administrator access on Windows and on $$anonymous$$ac the entire application is encapsulated in a container the user should never modify. Although this can also be an issue on Windows $$anonymous$$etro IIRC since apps there can't even use System.IO and have to use Windows.Storage namespace alternatives to even read them.

Yes actually I was only having Windows in mind since it comes in a basic folder where you can add your own manually...my bad

No worries, and it may have been okay for this particular instance. Just a bad habit since it might mean code refactoring later. With all the platforms Unity allows a developer to target, it would be a crying shame not to take cross-platform compatibility into account whenever practical. :)
