.txt files in res:// are lost during export

I’ve stored a bunch of .json and .txt files in subdirectories of res:// that represent data about the stages in my game. It runs fine when using F5 in the Godot editor, but when I export it, my game displays nothing at the points where it would have to read these files.

In the export menu, I’ve already added *.json, *.txt to the “Filters to export non-resource files”, to no avail. Any tips on troubleshooting this? If it’s relevant, I’m running ubuntu 18.04.1, and this bug happens with both the Linux/X11 preset and with the Windows Desktop preset (tested with wine).

ah nevermind, figured it out. It’s related to this issue:

github.com/godotengine/godot

Directory.dir_exists() always fails on res:// type paths even though Directory.open() works

**Operating system or device - Godot version:** Windows 10, Godot 2.1 alpha cust…om build **Issue description** (what happened, and what was expected): ``` directory = Directory.new() if not directory.dir_exists("res://path/to/dir"): print ("Directory does not exist") if directory.open("res://path/to/dir) == OK: print("Directory open works") ``` Output: Directory does not exist Directory open works Expected: Directory open works **Steps to reproduce:** ``` directory.dir_exists(directory.get_current_dir()) ``` **Link to minimal example project** (optional but very welcome):

Swapping out a if not directory.dir_exists("res://path/to/dir") for if not directory.open("res://path/to/dir) == OK fixed it.
