Can't you just ignore the things you're not going to use and put them there anyway? And it's not like it was marked as "optional". And it's not that it was marked as "optional." It literally seems like a mandatory part of the installation process.
first of you can dump the .DS_store to the trash, it is an autogenerate file because i work on mac
Is there any logical reason why the "models" folder wasn't put in a "packs" to begin with?
yes , because like i've said since players don't necessary want all the models in the game , having a separate "models" folder allow them to choose and trash the rest if they want.
Okay, please help, I'm too dumb to understand the reason why your mod is not being managed exactly as it should be placed in the game directory before uploading it. So i can't figure out how to install it. Should i dump models folder inside packs folder and all this crap should be placed inside Apocalyptic World 0.53/packs folder?
to answer you because the dev changed the "way" of some of the file ( for example purpose: apocalypse/pack/Ashley is a "way" or a "link" )
between part one and part two of my mod, no , i prefered not to put them exactly as it should be placed
also mainly because this part1 and part 2 was in continued evolution at the time ( at first i didn't do the portrait )
basically the installation is pretty simple , choose a model in the "model folder and "drag and drop" (or copy paste) it in the pack folder
after that the " coding" part of it is because of the portrait part
i will send you a more detailed step by step guide ( with image ) that i did recently for another player just let me time to find it
just make sure that you have my mod and not anotherone ( from other fan of the game).
