so my project is here: <https://github.com/Potat-OS1/project_thingo> and i started the project from a template.

under the champPortrait section is where i'm having my problem. when i run it in the IDE the path works, as i understand it its the relative path of the build folder. does it not use this path when its packaged? what path should i be using?

i can getResourceAsStream the contents of the folder but in this particular case i need the folder its self so i can put all the names of files inside of the folder into a list.
