Germanny's DM Tileset is actually ready for use. All you need to do is unzip the archive and move the entire "dm_resource_log2" folder into the custom dungeons folder of LoG 2. Then you can access it with the editor by opening the example dungeon.

To include this (or other) tilesets into a new editor project you have to import them so the editor "knows" them. This is done by placing import commands inside the "init.lua" file locate in the "mod_assets"->"scripts" subfolder of each project. The example dungeon included with Germanny's tileset naturally has an "init.lua" too but it might be a bit overwhelming to look at. Therefore as an example here is the rather simple init.lua of Komag's Master Quest mod:

Code: Select all

-- This file has been generated by Dungeon Editor 1.3.1

-- import standard assets
import "assets/scripts/standard_assets.lua"

-- import custom assets
import "mod_assets/scripts/items.lua"
import "mod_assets/scripts/monsters.lua"
import "mod_assets/scripts/objects.lua"
import "mod_assets/scripts/wall_sets.lua"
import "mod_assets/scripts/recipes.lua"
import "mod_assets/scripts/spells.lua"
import "mod_assets/scripts/materials.lua"
import "mod_assets/scripts/sounds.lua"
import "mod_assets/scripts/particles.lua"
--------------------------------------------------------------------

import "mod_assets/Beltbag/Beltbag.lua"

import "mod_assets/books/tome.lua"
import "mod_assets/runebooks/runebooks.lua"

import "mod_assets/dmcsb_pack/scripts/dmcsb_pack_init.lua"

but in the readme file for germanny's asset pack it says

"Installing the asset pack in your mod is plug-and-play: simply put the
dmcsb_pack directory in your mod_assets directory,
then add this line to your
init.lua:

Code: Select all

import "mod_assets/dmcsb_pack/scripts/dmcsb_pack_init.lua"

...
do I just put that one line in, do I put all the lines from that second section?

You only need the single line from the readme to get Germanny's tileset going. This line takes care of the rest and loads everything from the list that follows. You can see this by looking into the dmcsb_pack_init.lua file.

About the init.lua confusion: I assumed earlier you'd be looking into the init.lua of the example dungeon first (located in mod_assets/scripts) which is quite large so i gave you a smaller example.

If you want to work in only some things from Germanny's tileset i.e. the weapons it's way easier to just use

Code: Select all

import "mod_assets/dmcsb_pack/scripts/items/weapons.lua"

instead of the entire pack along the standard assets.

this doesn't work, when i go to open my dungeon, I get an error

[string "arch.lua"]:0: undefined object : base_dm_item

i deleted the line and i'm now able to open my dungeon again...but
now i'm a bit shaken up...i thought my file was corrupted.

are you sure there's not some other file I also need to import?

I'm able to load up the whole file with that one line from the readme, but any time I try to load up just one thing like only importing the surfaces, i get an error message

import "mod_assets/dmcsb_pack/scripts/objects/base.lua"
