Hi,

I'm not sure, but I remember that I read sometimes something about a current mod directory variable ?
Something to replace __MyModName__ in data.lua by __current__ ? Did I dream ? Or do we have to always specify the
name of the relative path ?

"__MyModName__" *is* the mod directory path. You can use any mod name to reference the mod files.

I'm not sure what you're asking about.

You can say like
And then just use it in its place:

OK, so there is no generic name to point to the current mod directory. You always have to type your mod's name. I thought I saw something like that in past releases... Nevermind

Isn't there an undocumented property lurking on _G that defines the mod name?
