virtual std::string
fullPathForFilename
( const std::string &  filename)
virtual

Returns the fullpath for a given filename.

First it will try to get a new filename from the "filenameLookup" dictionary. If a new filename can't be found on the dictionary, it will use the original filename. Then it will try to obtain the full path of the filename using the FileUtils search rules: resolutions, and search paths. The file search is based on the array element order of search paths and resolution directories.

For instance:

We set two elements("/mnt/sdcard/", "internal_dir/") to search paths vector by setSearchPaths,
and set three elements("resources-ipadhd/", "resources-ipad/", "resources-iphonehd")
to resolutions vector by setSearchResolutionsOrder. The "internal_dir" is relative to "Resources/".

If we have a file named 'sprite.png', the mapping in fileLookup dictionary contains key: sprite.png -> value: sprite.pvr.gz. Firstly, it will replace 'sprite.png' with 'sprite.pvr.gz', then searching the file sprite.pvr.gz as follows:

/mnt/sdcard/resources-ipadhd/sprite.pvr.gz      (if not found, search next)
/mnt/sdcard/resources-ipad/sprite.pvr.gz        (if not found, search next)
/mnt/sdcard/resources-iphonehd/sprite.pvr.gz    (if not found, search next)
/mnt/sdcard/sprite.pvr.gz                       (if not found, search next)
internal_dir/resources-ipadhd/sprite.pvr.gz     (if not found, search next)
internal_dir/resources-ipad/sprite.pvr.gz       (if not found, search next)
internal_dir/resources-iphonehd/sprite.pvr.gz   (if not found, search next)
internal_dir/sprite.pvr.gz                      (if not found, return "sprite.png")

If the filename contains relative path like "gamescene/uilayer/sprite.png", and the mapping in fileLookup dictionary contains key: gamescene/uilayer/sprite.png -> value: gamescene/uilayer/sprite.pvr.gz. The file search order will be:

 /mnt/sdcard/gamescene/uilayer/resources-ipadhd/sprite.pvr.gz      (if not found, search next)
 /mnt/sdcard/gamescene/uilayer/resources-ipad/sprite.pvr.gz        (if not found, search next)
 /mnt/sdcard/gamescene/uilayer/resources-iphonehd/sprite.pvr.gz    (if not found, search next)
 /mnt/sdcard/gamescene/uilayer/sprite.pvr.gz                       (if not found, search next)
 internal_dir/gamescene/uilayer/resources-ipadhd/sprite.pvr.gz     (if not found, search next)
 internal_dir/gamescene/uilayer/resources-ipad/sprite.pvr.gz       (if not found, search next)
 internal_dir/gamescene/uilayer/resources-iphonehd/sprite.pvr.gz   (if not found, search next)
 internal_dir/gamescene/uilayer/sprite.pvr.gz                      (if not found, return "gamescene/uilayer/sprite.png")

If the new file can't be found on the file system, it will return the parameter filename directly.

This method was added to simplify multiplatform support. Whether you are using cocos2d-js or any cross-compilation toolchain like StellaSDK or Apportable, you might need to load different resources for a given file in the different platforms.

virtual void setSearchPaths ( const std::vector< std::string > &  searchPaths)
virtual

Sets the array of search paths.

You can use this array to modify the search path of the resources. If you want to use "themes" or search resources in the "cache", you can do it easily by adding new entries in this array.

Note
This method could access relative path and absolute path. If the relative path was passed to the vector, FileUtils will add the default resource directory before the relative path. For instance: On Android, the default resource root path is "assets/". If "/mnt/sdcard/" and "resources-large" were set to the search paths vector, "resources-large" will be converted to "assets/resources-large" since it was a relative path.
Parameters
searchPathsThe array contains search paths.
