Load File To Bytes

Loads the contents of a file on disk into a byte array. Required when preparing binary data to upload using Upload Steam Leaderboard Score With UGC or when loading saved UGC.

Inputs

Pin	Type	Description
Absolute File Path	String	Full path to the file on disk. Use project directory helpers to generate this path.

Outputs

Pin	Type	Description
Bytes	uint8[]	File contents loaded into a byte array.
Return Value	bool	true if the file was successfully read, false otherwise.

Usage

• Common workflow for UGC uploads:
  Load File To Bytes → Upload Steam Leaderboard Score With UGC
• Use for loading replay files, ghost data, JSON configs, binary files, images, or any custom data.

Notes

• Path must be an absolute path.
  Suggested pure nodes:
• Get Project Directory
• Get Project Saved Directory
• Get Project Content Directory
• If the file does not exist or cannot be read, the node returns false and the output byte array is empty.
• Often paired with String To Bytes (UTF8) or Bytes To String (UTF8) depending on the file type.
