[SOLVED] Question? custom thing folders in GZDoom Builder.

Post by ::Bloodfury:: »

Okay okay, this is nitpicking. :lol:

But I am curious.
I always create my own folders in GZDBuilders things for my own actors when making a mod.

So the code you use in decorate to do this:

Code: Select all

//$Category Mod Parent Folder/ Subfolder aprropriate for the actor.
Now as we all know. This creates a folder, and subfolders and so on.
But! They all use preset color for the folder icon. I believe there might be a way
to alter the color this folder appears in the things window. Just like you can define
color in print strings and such.

If this can be done. How?

The default thing folders are defined in configuration files named "insert game name_things" located in "root doom builder directory/Configurations/Includes/". The config files define colors for the folders, so you can either edit the existing configs with your new folders (not recommended), or create your own game config that includes a custom thing config with your custom folder names and colors. (recommended)
