When "../" is inputed to change file folder in .lua files, it reads it as part of the file name instead. It should be changing folders instead.

I have trouble finding the logs on this issue because this is not a typical glitch.

This is part of the sandbox, and we do not allow escaping the folder in this manner.

what are you trying to do that requires folder switching?

There are several ways around this that don't involve using the sandboxed ../ shorthand. Do you have an example of a user-case that we can help with?

Yea, I'm try to convert the original DeltaMAX video code to LUA. Example of the original .ini file: [BGAnimation] [Layer1] File=../1.avi Type=0 Command=stretchto,0,0,640,480 [Layer2] File=../1/1.png Type=0 [Layer3] File=../2/0.png Type=0 [Layer4] File=../3/5.png Type=0 Atempted convert to .luareturn Def.ActorFrame {     Def.Quad {         Texture="1.avi",         InitCommand=function(self) end,         OnCommand=function(self) self:Center():FullScreen() end     }     Def.Quad {         Texture="../1/1.png",         InitCommand=function(self) self:Center() end     }     Def.Quad {         Texture="../2/0.png",         InitCommand=function(self) self:Center() end     }     Def.Quad {         Texture="../3/5.png",         InitCommand=function(self) self:Center() end     } } -----Original Message----- From: Sudospective ***@***.***> To: TeamRizu/OutFox ***@***.***> Cc: SDB13 ***@***.***>; Author ***@***.***> Sent: Thu, Oct 7, 2021 3:57 pm Subject: Re: [TeamRizu/OutFox] LUA files doesn't like "../" on file inputs (Discussion #428) There are several ways around this that don't involve using the sandboxed ../ shorthand.

If it's in the same folder as the song, you could use GAMESTATE:GetCurrentSong():GetSongDir() and navigate as if you're in the base folder. I'd recommend having a variable up top to store this, such as local songdir = GAMESTATE:GetCurrentSong():GetSongDir().
