Question About Raws
« on: August 30, 2008, 04:39:49 pm »

Could I add a folder inside of the Raws> Objects to put all of the unmodded creatures in? Or would that mess up how the game runs.

But you can add files, right? If so, then you could add a creature_mymoddestuff.txt.

If you mean "put all unmodded creatures in a folder inside the raws to preserve them as a backup", then yes, you can do it without problems. If you mean "put all unmodded creatures in a folder inside the raws so that they are read separately from any mods I make", then no, it won't work. It won't mess up the game, but it won't work. You can use Modbase instead.

Let me rephrase it. I do not want to make a .txt file with the unmodded creatures, I want to make a new file folder inside the raws.

Let me to answer your initial question:
 
Could I add a folder inside of the Raws> Objects to put all of the unmodded creatures in? Or would that mess up how the game runs.
Yes you could. It will not affect how the game runs.

Let me rephrase it. I do not want to make a .txt file with the unmodded creatures, I want to make a new file folder inside the raws.
You don't need to make a .txt file with the unmodded creatures: there're already .txt files with the unmodded creatures in the vanilla game.
If you want to make a new folder, press right mouse button and select "create new folder" :).
If won't affect ANYTHING, as it was told.
