Hello!
I'm in the final steps of releasing an updated version of Shade for Eden. Looking at the official repo guidelines, it says that: "Do not use special://skin/media/* as a path for images, this is incompatible with TexturePacker ".
So basically, my question is by what do we replace this path?
The images are located in : "skin.shade.eden.svn/backgrounds/". Should I put these images in "media/shade/background/"?
Thanks for any help!

It's only says not to use it for image you want packed in the Texture.xbt - as they're large, background ones then leave them where they are.

Still might be best to run it past the team though.

If they're backdrops (like fanart type stuff) then put them out separately. Basically anything that should be loaded in a background thread should not be in media/)

And what it comment "Do not use special://skin/media/* as a path for images, this is incompatible with TexturePacker " means is
If you have something you don't want in the xbt then don't put it in the skins "media" dir, because when it gets added to the official xbmc repo everything in the media dir gets auto put into the Textures.xbt file. so your special://skin/media/ will no longer work because it wont be there it will be in the xbt instead

ok I understand now, thanks!
Though the comment on the wiki meant, for me, that any occurrence of "special://skin..." should be replaced to be compatible with Eden. Which now, doens't seem to be the case, from what I read here.

Mind giving a link to where it says this in the wiki, and we'll update it.
