Getting Started

Getting the application

First download the latest public release here (or check out the repository and build it yourself). This will get you a single executable. Launch it up.

Creating a project

The application works on the concept of a 'project' which is essentially a root folder and a definition folder. As you have not yet run the tool you will be greeted with this dialog: NewProjectDialog

Click 'create new' to be lead through the process of creating the project file. It will prompt you to select the assets root folder, then a folder to store definitions in. You can also select a premade ProjectRoot.xml file to use that instead.

Once that is complete the toolwill launch: MainScreen

At this point it is very empty. At the top left is the file menu and the toolbar. Mouse over the buttons to see a tooltip of what they do.

Creating a definition

Now that we have the tool running we will want to create our first definition file. Navigate to File -> New Definition. NewDef
