Gusanos Folder Heirarchy

Introduction

For Gusanos to work properly, files and folders must of course be in the right places. This is a guide that quickly covers the heirarchy of the Gusanos tree.

Root

The root of the Gusanos folder contains the game exe and game DLL files needed for the game to run. Log files from the game will appear here.

Subdirs to root

Among the subdirs, default is perhaps the most essential. Apart from containing the default game mod, it also has the property of being global to all mods. If a file is missing in a mod, the game will search /default/ for it. This means you never have to put all maps in all mods. You just place them all in default, and they will be avalible to all mods. (Beware of specific mod-dependant maps).

Deeper subdirs

Deeper in the heirarchy you find objects, maps and diffrent additions to the game.
