It's definitely not perfect. If I want to load
c:\project\my_game\model.ssg but my path is set to d:\files\3d_models\ I
get a big problem as d:\files\3d_models\c:\project\my_game\model.ssg
doesn't exist.

Couldn't we feed the loader with the whole absolute path and the loader
gets all the files from the dir that the specified file is in? Perhaps
we need a texture modifier. 

(Hypothetic) Example:
Texture modifier is: '../textures'
Path is:             'd:/files/3d_models/objects/model.ssg'

This would load the model

d:/files/3d_models/objects/model.ssg

and the the textures

d:/files/3d_models/textures/model_texture_0.rgb
d:/files/3d_models/textures/model_texture_1.png
d:/files/3d_models/textures/model_texture_2.rgb
