What files need to go where...?

Post by Malc »

Hi fellas,

Been getting into Red Viper recently and have decided I'd like to see Panama in their too.

Can anyone provide a breakdown of the directory structure/what files go where. etc. to make theaters RV compatible please?

Cheers,

PMC Editing Wiki: Unified Theater directory naming structure and PMC Editing Wiki: Red Viper User Interface would be a start... the UI part is pit pale but ask me the right questions and I'll add stuff into the wiki.

There is not much to it directory wise, use the unified dir struct and you'll be okay, same art/campaign/terrdata directories apply there, its sort of just an "root of theater" directory.

Cheers Snake, it looks pretty similar to the other versions, so shouldn't be too difficult.

I've been "off-base" for a while and its surprising how easy you forget this stuff!
