Resources
  
       
  The various types of Project resources are organized in directories. The project file is in the root of the directory hierarchy. Each resource type has an associated directory type and file type. The directory type is determined by the presence of a zero-byte file with a particular filename (note that the defining filename does not have an extension). The resource file type is determined by a file extension. The directory-defining filename and the file extension for each resource type are shown in the following table.

Resource Type Directory Filename File Extension
Model DirTypeModels .ABC
Project DirTypeProject .DEP
Sound DirTypeSounds .WAV
Sprite DirTypeSprites .SPR
Texture DirTypeTextures .DTX
World DirTypeWorlds .ED


[Create Directory Dialog]Context menus allow management of these directories. Select the tab for the directory type you want to create and then right-click it. The context menu supports adding, deleting, cutting, copying, and pasting directories.

Select Add Directory to display the Create Directory dialog box. Enter a name for the directory, and then click OK. DEdit creates the subdirectory and the appropriate defining file within it.

Moving a directory to or from the clipboard (with Cut, Copy, or Paste) moves all of the files and subdirectories within it as well. You cannot Cut the project directory, although you can Copy it.

You may create subdirectories within other resource directories to help you manage project resources.
[Project Window]

When a resource directory is selected in the upper pane of a resource tab, the lower pane shows an alphabetical list of the relevant resource files in that directory. (Files with extensions that do not match the directory type are ignored.) The various resource tabs and their context menus are described in the following topics.

[1] - Upper Pane
[2] - Lower Pane
