![]() When you're done go back into the game and hit Publish. crp file, you now officially have an asset pack! crp file corresponds to a different asset.īy having more than one. crp files you want to publish to a different folder of your choice, and then just drag and drop into the steam update directory.Įach. To avoid getting confused about which one is the local asset, and which one is the steam asset, always copy out the. crp are coming from, they come from the Skylines Local Asset Save Directory ( C:\Yourusername\AppData\Local\Colossal Order\Cities_Skylines\Addons\Assets). Drag and drop (or copy and paste) every asset's. I use a 640 x 640 because the steam icon is a square and the default rectangle will result in black space. And this is how to do it.Ĭlick the folder icon instead of going immediately to publishĬhange the PreviewImage file to something more "marketable". Keep the pack at between 5 to 20 roads for a manageable size. Therefore I am convinced that related roads should go into a single pack. You'd be better off as a marketing guy instead of creating any assets. ![]() You could, try to combat this with better pictures, but imagine populating 400 pages with great looking pics and good description. Now I'm not saying these are bad assets per se, but the vanilla-ish appearance and repetitive descriptions make it very unappealing to a subscriber. A second problem is Collections do not appear from a Steam search, instead this appears: Because instead of "read once click once" now you make them read 401 pages and click once. One popular approach I see is making 400 different roads and then grouping them into a "Collection", but this is also not ideal. So the Required Items should ideally be a short list less than 5, and ideally, none of them should actually be "required" but are optional beautification addons. For now, I havent even had the time to update my own roads to these advanced compression methods.įuture Series: How to compress a road till it's size is measured with KILOBYTES, instead of the 10 to 25MB normally seen in the workshop. Therefore, you can either choose to laugh at or belittle user behavior, or understand user behavior and design accordingly.īut sir, what about people who want certain assets in the pack but not others in the pack, to save memory? Well, stay tuned for a future section of this How to Build Custom Roads series, where I'll also talk about how you can achieve extreme levels of compression till memory becomes a non issue. I have discovered from my subscribers that many users will not even read the "Required Items" section, which will lead to questions like "Why doesn't this road have street lamps" even though the street lamp is a prop listed under required items. Users mostly want to click once and be able to immediately use the asset. This is because as an end user, nobody (!!!) wants to sift through a list of 46 roads roads and figure out the difference between "3 lanes 1 way with Monorail and Tram Line" and "3 lanes 1 way with Monorail and Tram Line, but Yellow". Unless you want to publish 1 copy of every road as its own asset in the workshop ( many asset creators actually do this), it is much better to put multiple related roads into one pack. There is so much more I can talk about road creation (I did Part 1 and Part 2), but I decided that Part 3 will be about something much more fundamental to the process, and therefore, more important to an asset creator, especially a new one.
