Mount a folder/zipfile from source directory

[keharriso]

Hello, all. I was wondering if there is a way to use love.filesystem.mount on folders/zipfiles inside the source directory. This would make my module/plugin system possible without having to edit the LÖVE internals.

Also, if this is impossible, is there a reason other than "it's not implemented?" I would personally love to have this feature, and I was thinking of adding it myself.

It's not possible, since the source directory is actually a zip file when you distribute your game as a .love, and PhysFS (the library used by love.filesystem) can't mount zips that are inside other zips.

One option might be to copy the zip from the game's source directory to the save directory, and mount the copy.

Ah, thanks, that sounds like what I'll do -- just copy the plugins to the save directory and mount from there.
