Putting a map in a mod directory. - Cemetech | Forum | Suggestions & Troubleshooting [Topic]

here's an example directory tree for the content pack "forceislands2" inside the zip file "forceislands2.zip" inside the mods subdirectory of a freebuild installation.

Note that the Force Islands 2 subdirectory should not be present. The correct structure for this content pack is as follows:

also note that i'm not entirely sure why those textures are in the interiors directory when they look more like terrain textures, and as far as I can tell they are using the core/data/ copy anyway, so that should go too.

Here is a sample modinfo.txt

Code:

NAME:   Force Islands 2


AUTHOR:   fiveforce


VERSION:   1


DEPENDENCIES: None


DESCRIPTION: Map for use in Freebuild (TBG) to replace the one lost in The Orange Block    





Resources:  core/data/terrains/grassy


       core data/terrains/sand


       core data/terrains/water


            core data/terrains/cliffy

this should be corrected so that the NAME: line reads as following

Code:

NAME: forceislands2

to match the .zip name of the content pack.

Finally here is some example mission code.

Code:
