I'm trying to add a custom file to the project (type "Raw File"), but it somehow doesn't work. I wonder whether I'm doing something wrong.

Here is what I tried:
1) Drag&drop the file into the project tree
2) Manually adding a file "Raw File" in the project and dragging my file onto that

The file is a definition file in text format. I would like to add all those to the project.
However, would it even be possible to read those project files as TextData? I didn't see it accepting a UID parameter.

I find it best to create a new element (Raw File) and then right click it and select "Reload" and navigate to the source file.

You can convert a UID to file name so you shouldn't have a problem reading those as TextData. I can't remember the function name to convert the UID to file name but it is starts with "Encode".

That is the only way to do it.

The function is EncodeFileName(UID);

Alright, via Reload it worked ok. Clever Rofar.

I got the filename like this:

Str(EE_PROJECT_PATH).tailSlash(true) + EncodeFileName(fileuid)

Please skip the Str(EE_PROJECT_PATH).tailSlash(true) and do just EncodeFileName
as all EE IO based functions will use the DataPath (used in development) or Paks (used when publishing) automatically.

Thanks, guys.
