# Old dirpath.py replaced with new dirpath 'package/module' to allow dynamic
# checking on directory structure at dirpath import without requiring alteration
# of almost every openrpg1 python file
#
# This module is functionally identical to the dirpath.py file it replaces.
# All directory locations are now handled by the load_paths() function
# in the dirpath_tools.py file  -- Snowdog 3-8-05

# CHANGE LOG
# -----------------------------
# * Reworked path verification process to attempt to fall back on the
#   current working directory if approot fails to verify before
#   asking the user to locate the root directory -- Snowdog 12-20-05
# -----------------------------
# * Removed reference to approot. It was a superflous creation that carried an object
#   that dirpath_tools already creates. It wasted system resources by creating a files
#   and by referencing a file to fill an object that was already created. -- SirEbral 07-19-09
