ggerolamo 2 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Hello Peter, In the last 'SIMstarter NG Release Notes' I read the following remarkable change: [FEATURE] Add-On.xml MGR - (P3Dv4) Import from directory detects file in "sceneryWorld" subfolder ("scenery" and "texture") and copy them automaticly to \Scenery\World\Scenery & Texture This really is a long-awaited feature to handle the 'world sceneries' even better! But in this respect I have a question of understanding: How should this feature work, or what should I do that the files get copied - and when? What should I do in the add-on manager to get the files copied to the p3d-directory? (re)importing an existing add-on.xml ? adding a new category in an existing add-on.xml ? At which action (trigger) the files will be copied ? I have not really made it yet! Any help is welcome greetings ggerolamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Capt. PERO 398 Posted December 20, 2018 Developer Share Posted December 20, 2018 That does mean, if you create an Add-On.xml using "Categories from directory" he will copy files found in <AirportBaseDirectory>\SceneryWorld\Texture\* <AirportBaseDirectory>\SceneryWorld\Scenery\* into <YourSimBase>\Scenery\World\Scenery\* <YourSimBase>\Scenery\World\Texture\* (or into the directory specified in Program settings - as I use an extra directory for it). You need to have both folders (texture/scenery) in <AirportBaseDirectory>\SceneryWorld\ that he triggers the copy operation. This function makes it very, very easy to install new add-on.xml files and copy the correct files to the correct path. Got it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggerolamo 2 Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 Sorry, but I don't get it ! What do you mean with : --using "Categories from directory" ? If I have a Addon with only a ...scenery\world\scenery\ directory I have to create an empty scenery\world\texture directory to get it being copied to the sim directory ? I'm really confused greetings ggerolamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Capt. PERO 398 Posted December 20, 2018 Developer Share Posted December 20, 2018 Start SIMstarter NG > Configuration > Add-On.xml Manager > Create new add-on.xml > "Categories from directory" I am creating an english video soon. Maybe that would help. In addition see manual chapter 3.1.1.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggerolamo 2 Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 In this case I have to wait for the video I know the manual, I manage all the add-ons with SIMstarter NG - and all works perfect, but not the copy of world\scenery files... (btw I see no description of this copy function in manual chapter 3.1.1.1.) thanks for your help I'm looking forward to the video greetings ggerolamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Capt. PERO 398 Posted December 22, 2018 Developer Share Posted December 22, 2018 Sorry, I will rework the manual to better explain and rework the logic of this function a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
