is it possible to load a bitmap from with in another zipfile than the xml is in?

[Plague]

Ok, to explain the topic a bit..
I need to load a bitmap which is located in a zipfile but it's not the zipfile which contains the xml files..
That zipfile doesn't contain a single xml file at all and I really want to avoid having to unpack the bitmap..
Don't ask :)

now, is this possible at all to do from xml?
I havent gotten it to work, but I KNOW it's possble to load other xml files from within a zipfile, so why not bitmaps?

:up: what r u trying to do?!?!
:eek: hmm why not put an xml file in the bitmap's zip which will call the bmp
then call the xml in the bmp's zip with the original xml
:blah: hope this works

yea that works, I know, and I really wish it was that simple! :D
But the thing is, I can't put a xml file inside the bitmap's zip.
It has to be unmodified..

thanks though
more suggestions? :D

u know wa3 extracts everything included in the wal in the Temp folder (at least i think so)
:D hm u should think of how to extract the bitmap's zip in the Temp somehow (it'll be difficult if not impossible, since it's not a skin itself) ;) sorry man, i'// think about it again

keep u informed, good luck:cool:
