Folder structure:
|
/baseThis is the default ETQW mod directory. The contents of this directory include all the game assets used in the game. Mods for ETQW should be created in their own directory in the main ETQW installation folder as a brother folder to /base. In the engine code your mod base name is always called "base" no matter the actual physical name. You set the game to use a different folder as base with the fs_game cvar. You can also set the fs_game_base cvar to let you base a mod off base game and your own content as usual as well as an additional mod. Note: While you probably want to work on your mod with the assets decompressed and available in the ETQW folder structure, when you release your mod you should put them into .
