Panther projects thread
This thread is a place to discuss projects being built in the Scratch modification "Panther" for people wondering how to use its features or who need help with them. A lot of confusion has arisen as to how such features as files, clones and mesh should be used have arisen so this is the place to ask!

Why don't you do this on your Panther site?
I was requested to do this here and since it's discussing the use of features in the Panther modification I think it fits in advanced topics. If people disagree, I'm happy to remove it

Re: Panther projects thread
It starts at the root folder for the panther image file if you just put the file name and format e.g. file.txt whereas if you type in the full path it will go from the root of the hard drive. A path like /documents/file.txt won't work, you'll need to put the full path
However, if you want to, you can create a custom block that reports the file path to the image file.
path to image r
^ FileDirectory default pathName.
Which would let you access folders within the image folder using the join block.
(join [(path to image)] [/projectFiles/saveFile1.txt])

Re: Panther projects thread
In Panther, I noticed in the news dialog, there was a global variable called NewsUrl, but the variable wasn't set. How did that work? (I know it wasn't set, because when I tried to use the value of it anywhere else it said variable not found, and asked me if I woulf like to declare it?)

Could you use "." to get the current directory? (e.g. "./stuff/afile.txt")
And besides, a relative path wouldn't have a / at the beginning; on UNIX systems, the / means the root of the filesystem.
Yawn.

No, it's against the TOS, but you can use Mod-Share to share it...however, they don't have an online player working.

Mod Play will have a Panther player once TheSuccessor is done with it
But for now, Mod Share is the best option.
