====== Using the Resource Pack Creator ======

When you finish your train model, there's no point in adding it into a resource pack and calling it a day, and expecting the game to magically understand your logic. It is not impossible to write up all the definitions and properties by yourself, but the complication will certainly make you feel overwhelmed. Resource Pack Creator is designed to allow you to create custom trains, boats, cable cars, and aeroplanes with a live preview, making the process of creating a resource pack easier for everyone.

===== Dependencies =====

  - A web browser, such as Google Chrome. In MTR4 Resource Pack Creator runs as a website hosted on your computer, so you will not find the Resource Pack Creator item in your Creative Mode Inventory.
  - Models and textures, if you're going to start from scratch.
  - A resource pack, if you're going to edit an existing resource pack.

===== Create New Resource Pack =====

==== Importing models ====

To import your models, click ''Manage Models'', then ''Add Model''. You can now input your models. When you have finished selecting the files, press Open.

<WRAP center round important 90%>

If you're importing **OBJ** files, you **MUST** also upload the corresponding **MTL** file. If you forget to do this, the model will not load.

</WRAP>

Press ''Close'' to leave the model manager.

==== Importing textures ====

Similarly, click ''Manage Textures'', then ''Add Textures''. You can now input your textures. When you have finished selecting the files, press Open.

==== Vehicle Properties ====

Before we start adding models, let's take a look at what you can customise in the Vehicle Properties Menu. Click ''Edit Vehicle Properties'' and the menu will be shown.

=== What do each options do? ===

^ Name ^ Data type ^ Explanation ^ Condition ^ Default value ^
| ID | string | The unique ID for each vehicle.  | N/A | my_vehicle  |

By setting all these up, you're ready to add your models in.

==== Adding models ====

<WRAP right>

| A new model without specifying a model and a texture. |

| {{ :resourcepack:make:model_added.png?200 }} |
| A new model with a model and a texture specified. |

</WRAP>

Your model and textures can be put into the following groups:

  - Main Vehicle: All your normal parts should go here.
  - Front/Back/Bogie: All parts for bogie(s) should go here.

We will start by adding the main vehicle models. Click ''Main Vehicle'' and press ''Add model''. A model named ''(Untitled)'' will be added to the list.

=== Edit Model Parts ===

Here's where the main thing about building the train goes. Clicking ''Edit Model Parts'' and you'll see a window with all the parts you've defined, of which it should be empty when you enter the window for the first time. Press ''Add'' to add new parts to the model.

You will not be able to edit model parts if you selected a model with associated JSON files in Model Properties (e.g. `sp1900.bbmodel + sp1900_common.json + sp1900.json`)
