Configuring GenEdit for TrilobiteShell

This tutorial is to show the people who want to use TrilobiteShell but can't find out how to get GenEdit-Classic and TrilobiteShell to work together. If you have any questions feel free to email me at crazyrain12@hotmail.com

 

1) Open the GenEdit.ini file in the genedit directory.

2) You should see a box called [Paths]

3) Now you configure the paths to what you want. And if you don't want your levels in the levels directory then you change it to what directory you want it in (It's pretty straight forward.)
I will show you how I have my TrillobiteShell set up.

PS: Mine is in my C:\ directory yours might not be.

[Paths]
TxlName=gedit.txl
TxlSearchPath=C:\TrilobiteShell_025_Full\TrilobiteShell\levels
PreviewPath=C:\TrilobiteShell_025_Full\TrilobiteShell\TrilobiteShell.exe
Headers=C:\TrilobiteShell_025_Full\TrilobiteShell
ObjectsDir=C:\TrilobiteShell_025_Full\TrilobiteShell\Objects
ProjectDir=C:\TrilobiteShell_025_Full\TrilobiteShell\levels
Include=C:\TrilobiteShell_025_Full\TrilobiteShell\Include


4) Now open up GenEdit-Classic and you'll find that your objects are in the prefabs table and the entities are in the entity tab. And if the entities aren't there open up the the project menu and click on level options and make sure the headers directory is right. Once you have set it to the right directory you'll have all of your entities.

5) Give yourself a pat on the back and start creating your levels.
