Members

GeResource( path )

GeResource([Filename] path);

Constructor. The filename path must point to the root directory of the plugin's folder. A good way to get this path is to use the GeGetRootFilename() function:

var root = GeGetRootFileName();
root->RemoveLast(); // Remove the plugin name

var resource = new(GeResource, root);

GetString( id )

[string] GetString([int] id);

Returns the string with the id id from the file c4d_strings.str in one of the strings_xx folders. Depending on the language selected by the user you will automatically get the correct string, provided that the language is available in the resource. Otherwise you will get the english resource strings. If there is no english resource, you will get any language.
