To find quickly where the best is to open the GameBox to the left and click on the
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.shmupcreator.com\/doc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/icon_openFolder.jpg\"){kind=icon}
Directory button<\/strong> to open the directory.(If you want to know, you can also find it in Documents\/BuloStudio\/Games\/Your game name\/Assets<\/em>)<\/p>\n
In the Asset directory you can find several other directories: Each kind of game object goes into its own sub-directory: items, players, enemies. Then, inside each one of those directories, there are two sub-directories: Sprites<\/strong> and 3D<\/strong>. In Sprites you can save all your sprites pictures, and in 3D, you can save all your 3D assets and their textures.<\/p>\n\n\n Each time you add a new asset, the SHMUP Creator will update the Game Box and the asset will be ready for you to play with. And each time you update something (a texture, a 3D assets…), the tool will update everything automatically (except for sounds).<\/p>\n If you delete an asset that is used by your game, the engine will show a missing texture material or a ?<\/strong> Object for missing 3D objects. You can copy your asset and the engine will try to bring back everything as well as it can.<\/p>\n You can animate your sprites. See the Animating Sprite<\/a> section of the documentation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
– Pictures<\/strong>: for menus, HUD, wallpaper, fonts, game over pictures, etc.
– Models<\/strong>: for all the game entities, like enemies, bullets, items, backgrounds…<\/p>\n
– Particles<\/strong>: for animated explosions and particle effects.<\/p>\nNote<\/strong>: each asset should have a unique name in the game. For example, if you save a sprite called \"sprite.png\" in player\/sprites and save another picture with the same name elsewhere, the engine will only load the first one.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
CAUTION<\/strong>: texture name for 3D assets should not contains space<\/strong>:\nPlease use an underscore _ instead.\nex: my texture.png is not a valid name.=> my_<\/strong>texture.png\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Note:<\/strong> When you create a new game, the SHMUP Creator creates several directories (Assets, Sprites, Enemies, Gamebox...): do not create new directories inside them, they will not be used by the editor.<\/pre>\n\n\n
