[QUOTE=raBBish;33751217]To add to the discussion; C++11 (well, Technical Report 2 to be exact) has filesystem from Boost in the standard. Although so far only MSVC11 supports it, not g++ or others. It's cross-platform but other platforms just haven't implemented it yet :v:[/QUOTE]
Tried googling for more info, but couldn't find anything. Care to point me in the right direction?

Your tool lacks re-usability and flexibility though, and I can honestly say that I've never had the need for a utility like that.
So his solution is actually pretty slick, if you compare effort and flexibility.

If you're using reflection to (de)serialize packet data, just keep in mind you cannot rely on the order of the fields or properties.
[url]http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ch9714z3.aspx[/url]
[quote]
The GetFields method does not return fields in a particular order, such as alphabetical or declaration order. Your code must not depend on the order in which fields are returned, because that order varies.

Wow, I've never been so angry at people reinventing the wheel poorly because they don't want to use a fucking library that's been designed, thought about and properly programmed to be cross platform.
Unix uses UTF-8 paths, Windows uses UTF-16 paths. How the fuck are you going to have Unicode paths now?
In fact, this infuriates me:
[QUOTE=DevBug;33751874]I'm going to have to side with Dajoh on this one:
1. It's a learning experience
2. The API will match your naming/coding conventions
3. Dependencies. This is especially important to me, probably less so to non-purists.
4. Licenses. God damn licenses.
However, there is no need to roll your own for everything. Except boost, because fuck boost.[/QUOTE]
1. Good.
2. So fucking what? Are you going to rewrite everything simply because it doesn't fit your conventions?
3. What's so bad about dependencies?
4. Boost can be used in commercial products with no cost, have you even read its 10 line long license?
Fuck Boost? Why?
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Facepunch suffers from a good amount of [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_Invented_Here]Not Invented Here[/url] syndrome.
I'm not trying to start a flame war, but it's just so frustrating to see people go down the same path where I spent 3 years trying to write a game engine from scratch, restarting multiple times, just to look at it what I had: Half a filesystem abstraction layer that was Unix only and horrible to use.
Using third party libraries helps things immensely, and yes, there's a time when they don't fit your needs, but this isn't one of them.

I'm still working on my game framework (it's not really an engine) since I'll be using it for LD. It can now load (and display) sprites and sounds. There's not a lot to show since it's just ugly programmer art for testing if everything works properly.

Keep in mind that reflection is slow as fuck though. I'm not saying don't use, but don't use it when performance is critical and it doesn't make something a LOT easier.

I'm not denying that there's alternatives. I'm just saying that there's now one more.
