Reference and Cheat Sheets > Custom RayPack Installer Database Tables

The RPSourcePath table contains the columns shown in the following table.

Column	Type	Key	Nullable
File_	Identifier (s72)	Y	N
Path	Text (S0)	N	Y

Columns

File_

Name of the file to which a given source path applies.

Path

The path to the source file.

The value in the Path column can contain special syntax that will be resolved to actual values on build. During building, RayPack collects the files pointed by the value from the Path column. All files must be existing in order to successfully build the package.

The value from the Path column should contain the full absolute path to the resource, for example:

C:\Resources\file.txt

In order to avoid hardcoding values and provide interoperability of projects, several formatted syntaxes are available. When importing any file, RayPack will automatically try to avoid hardcoding the value by looking up the location of the project and the current environment variables for a best match. If nothing is found, a full absolute path will be used.

The following syntax is available in the Path column:

String

Example & Resolving

Example:

<ProjectFile>.Sources\fileA.txt

Given that the project is saved as

C:\RayPack\Projects\ProjectA.rpp

the value will be resolved to:

C:\RayPack\Projects\ProjectA.rpp.Sources\file.txt

Example:

<ProjectFolder>\Sources\fileA.txt

Given that the project is saved as

C:\RayPack\Projects\ProjectA.rpp

the value will be resolved to:

C:\RayPack\Projects\Sources\file.txt

<%Environment%>

Example:

<%WINDIR%>notepad.exe

The environment variables are resolved according to the system configuration:

C:\Windows\notepad.exe

(at the beginning of the path)
(deprecated)

Example:

.\fileA.txt

Given that the project is saved as

C:\RayPack\Projects\ProjectA.rpp

the value will be resolved to:

C:\RayPack\Projects\ProjectA.rpp.Sources\Files\file.txt

Note:

The support for this syntax is available to keep the compatibility between old projects created in RayPack 1.2 or earlier. It is not recommended to use this syntax anymore.

($VariableName)

Uses the path of variable with a given name as defined in RPVariable table.
