void setFallbackToPacks(const bool& fallback)

Sets if the files that failed to be loaded from the file system should try to be loaded from the currently open packs. For example if you try to load a texture from the file system a fails it will search the same path in the opened packs, and load it from there. * TextureFactory::instance()->loadFromFile( “mytexture.png” ); If the file is not in the file system, it will be searched in the opened packs, and loaded if is found. * In case that the process path is appended to the path… like Sys::GetProcessPath() + “mytexture.png”, the process path will be removed from the file path.
