Exported build does not includes the MapData.txt

[marcelovbcfilho]

Recently after some testing with the project I decided to add it to my main game, but for some reason after exporting the game for windows(any platform actually) the PCK file that contains the res:// files does not contains the MapData.txt, am I missing some setting when exporting to include that file?

Image 1: My levels folder with the MapData.txt present and valid

Image 2: PCK file using GodotPCKExplorer and the MapData.txt from the levels folder is not present there

I really don't understand, I think I missing something, for me the PCK file would contain all game files but the MapData.txt isn't present anywhere and when I launch the exported .exe I get the follow image message:

This message lead me to explore the PCK file and assume that it is not being included, but again, I might just be wrong and not settings a hidden setting.

You need to add *.txt to include filters in your export preset, as mentioned here.

That makes sence, out of my curiosity, the MapData needs to be a txt, couldn't it be a custom resource to already be included in the build?

I could make it a custom Resource, but that would require custom loader and saved, as it uses my own format. I found it easier to just write/load it manually and there is ever only one MapData, so actual Resource format is overkill.

The issue was solved, but I think that the MapData really could be something pre-included in the build.

Actually it's doable with EditorExportPlugin. I'll look into that.
