But Im stuck on the first step because Ihave no idea what the arrows mean. What are the arrows and spaces supposed to be? mymod exported |-> myitem |-> ground_myitem |-> ground_myitem.png swap_myitem |-> swap_myitem |-> swap_myitem.png images |-> inventoryimages |-> myitem.png scripts |-> prefabs |-> myitem.lua modmain.lua yo Malacath, can you help me out here man?

alainmcd Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Hi @Hurl, welcome to the forums! The forums have been upgraded over time and, unfortunately, some upgrades broke new lines in formatted text. I believe this is how it was originally meant and displayed: mymod exported |-> myitem |-> ground_myitem |-> ground_myitem.png swap_myitem |-> swap_myitem |-> swap_myitem.png images |-> inventoryimages |-> myitem.png scripts |-> prefabs |-> myitem.lua modmain.lua Btw, you posted in the tutorials section, which is meant to post tutorials only (see the first pinned topic). Also, to mention someone, type @ followed by their user name and select the name from the dropdown menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, why is there an extra modmain.lua at the end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alainmcd Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Spoiler *mymod |-> *exported | |-> *myitem | |-> *ground_myitem | | |-> ground_myitem.png | | | |-> *swap_myitem | |-> *swap_myitem | |-> swap_myitem.png | |-> *images | |-> *inventoryimages | |-> myitem.png | |-> *scripts | |-> *prefabs | |-> myitem.lua | |-> modmain.lua (I've reformatted the file structure a little more, more spaces to make clearer what belongs to what, and I've marked folders with an asterisk.) Both swap_myitem's are folders, not files, and according to the diagram, the file swap_myitem.png should be placed inside the second swap_myitem folder. As for why it is like this or whether it's a typo, I do not know. My very basic understanding is that the autocompiler goes through all the mods in the mods folder of the DS installation and tries to compile all images it finds in the exported folder and its subfolders into working animation files in the corresponding anim folder - the autocompiler should take care of everything you'd need. If it doesn't work for you, I suggest you move the swap_myitem.png file to the first swap_myitem folder and see if that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
