Description

build 2072
I ran Doom2 with no packages. Then I use the UI menu "Packages..." to load the hires package. The package seems to be loaded since there is option in the UI to "Unload" it. Then I start a new game and I clearly see that the package is not used. I check the "Packages..." option in the UI and it still allows me to "Unload" the package,
The package works fine when I load it from the home UI before the game is loaded.
I attach the doomsday.out file.

Resources|FS|libdoomsday: Loading data files via packages; added "defsPath"

When a package is loaded, the corresponding FS1 data file is loaded
by libdoomsday's Resources class. The res::DoomsdayPackage utility
provides the URI for loading.

Packages may now specify a "defsPath" in their metadata. This is
assumed to contain DED files that will automatically be loaded when
definitions are read.

I ran Doom2 with no packages. Then I use the UI menu "Packages..." to load the hires package.

After you've clicked "Load" on the package, have you tried manually entering a "reset" command in the console? That should cause the high-res textures to be loaded.

I believe the Packages sidebar currently does not cause the engine to actually refresh the resources, it just marks the package as loaded or unloaded.

No, "reset" did not help.
