what i would suggest you do is keep all the files from your mod out of everyone
else's files. i've been guilty of violating that rule with my personal mods,
but i really think that is what everyone should do. it stops a mess from
occuring and it makes updating easy.
you can use the percent code variables and then go back ../to/your/dir
in the past, i had to use double slashes, but i'm not sure if that issue has
been corrected. regardling linux, i think you can just use forward slashes for
both win and linux baja scripts. but it's been so long, i'm not sure. either
way, you can get a text replacement program and switch the slashes and make 2
versions of your mod.
in the past a lof people put their mods in sbbs/data/DIRNAME. for example, one
guy had one called data/bajamods/modname for each addon he created.
if you want me to take a look at your script, get me on irc on irc.bbses.info
[dont visit for 1 minute and leave, please]. i used to be great with baja but
now i'm a bit rusty. it comes back to me after playing around with it a bit.
