i use some additional files for a robot to run (sounds as examples and data files

they reside in the Sources folder, however Sources are not included is i compile without sourcecode.

 

is there a way to compile without sourcecode but still attach files to the .algo ?

Hi Swingfish,

You have a few options, one is to use the Visual Studio IDE and attached your files as resources and also set them to embedded, see the link below.

The more simplest option would be to just provide a zipped up file containing your additional files and specify where the user copies them so your robot can read them.

guess you are right,

the most easiest way is probably just to use an installer instead. that copy the sound and data files to the appropriate directory
