+Map editor do not support Virtual File System in model selection dialogue (entity inspector), it only can select real files. This is not a problem with developed version of Blood Omnicide (SVN working copy with test installation), but release verson SDK should make sure all game models is unpacked in order to make editor see them in model selection dialog box.

 When QC writes any files, engine automatically adds 'data/' to the path, so gamecode cannot damage game files, maps etc. But file read is not the same. It could read files from base directory, open maps etc.
-So if you write, for example, foo.txt (which will be written to data/foo.txt) and have foo.txt in gamedir, you should set path "data/foot.txt" when reading the file, and set path "foo.txt" when writing. If you dont, you will write to file under "data/", but read file that is in gamedir.

 Since virtual file system is, effectively, an abstraction layer, it has its own quirks.
