So I finally finished a bunch of different houses and everything works fine. I can make individual .pkm files for them, but I want to put the entire set in one package. I am a little unsure of where to even start.
How do I do that?
your resource file at the root of your mod should call everything, each item. they should all link to your toolbar file which is also at the root of your mod
your toolbar file should have all your items and should define all the places they hold in your toolbar. and each item are also linked to your templates.
like this example of my forest center.
my NMTForestCenterResources.rsc :
ExternalList resource
{
External _resources
[
// toolbar - references building and everything else - nothing else need be listed here
"NMTForestCenter.rsc:NMTForestCenter",
"NMTForestCenter.rsc:NMT30FCRoad",
"NMTForestCenter.rsc:NMT30FCHunter",
"NMTForestCenter.rsc:NMT30FCGatherer",
"NMTForestCenter.rsc:NMT30FCHerbalist",
"NMTForestCenter.rsc:NMT30FCForester",
"NMTForestCenter.rsc:NMT30FCBarn",
"NMTForestCenter.rsc:NMT30FCWoodcutter",
"NMTForestCenter.rsc:NMT30FCLumbermill",
"NMTForestCenter.rsc:NMT30SAHunter",
"NMTForestCenter.rsc:NMT30SAGatherer",
"NMTForestCenter.rsc:NMT30SAHerbalist",
"NMTForestCenter.rsc:NMT30SAForester",
"NMTForestCenter.rsc:NMT30SABarn",
"NMTForestCenter.rsc:NMT30SAWoodcutter",
"NMTForestCenter.rsc:NMT30SALumbermill",
"Template/Citizen.rsc",
"Template/StorageBarn.rsc:storage",
"Template/StorageYard.rsc:storage",
"Template/StorageCart.rsc:storage",
]
}
and my toolbar NMTForestCenter.rsc file :

and you can see they all point and link to all their Template/items.rsc
Thank You! I am gonna upload my creation (and hope it works :P )
if you put the .pkm in your bin/windata of your real legit game, and it works... it should for everyone.
