How to name a new object

Foldername ./"yourModName"/objects

Place all new objects in this folder using this naming rules:

Objects have to be named like this: nameXXX#Y.png

name: the name of the object type XXX: The number of the variation. For example 001, 002 etc. They have allways be 3 digits here!

  1. Y: The animation number. #0 #1

Note: Default is allways the #0 for the animation. All objects at least need a #0 animation.

Example with a door

door001#0.png

"door": Where as the "door" is the name of the object, this is used in the editor to sort your objects into groupes. "001" The variation of the object. "

  1. 0": Animation status for closed door
  2. 1 would be for opening the door
  3. 2 would be the open door.

So door002#2.png would just show the open door.

If you name the object the same way as it is named in the original game files, the one in your mod will replace the original one.

door001#0.png

Door001-0.png
