Exclude files from TARGET

Monkey Forums/Monkey Programming/Exclude files from TARGET

Hi!

I know this is maybe a simple question, but searching haven't gave any result.

Is there a way to exclude files from particular target?

For example, I don't need to use retina images from IOS target in my FLASH version of the game.
Can I write something like this anywhere...
"*@2x.png" or "*@2x*"
... to exclude those.

Thanks!

I think you can use the import command to do something like this:

#If TARGET = "flash"
  Import "flash/sprite.jpg"
#ElseIf TARGET = "html5"
  Import "html5/sprite.jpg"
#EndIf

But that's a lot of work... I think the only way is to manually delete the unwanted files from the build folder... unless I am wrong? :)

One more thing is the FLASH throws an error on files that contains "@".

So deleting them manually is not an option =(

you could use a different file format for each target and then use the config to filter out the format you dont want, which will allow you to use a lower quality, say jpg for flash and a higher quality png for retina.

each target has its own format requirements tho so just double check which are available to the targets your looking at.

you could try

Import TARGET+"/sprite.jpg"

and then just create folder named as targets and delete unwanted folders when you are ready to release?
