Content Tool Installation

Download the latest com.flansmod.contenttool-x.y.z.tgz from GitHub
Open your new Unity project.
Click on "Window -> Package Manager" in the top toolbar.
In the Package Manager, click the small + in the top left corner and select "Add package from tarball...". Navigate to the .tgz file you downloaded earlier and select it.
If you have your Unity set to manual refresh, press Ctrl+R now. If you don't know whether you did, it doesn't hurt to press Ctrl+R anyway
Find the "Project" view and navigate to "Assets/Scenes", then open "ContentToolScene".
Also, at the top of the screen, you can click on "Flan's Mod" and then "Toolbox". This will open the Toolbox panel, which will be used in a lot of the following steps.

Next Steps

There are two main paths to go down now.

  • Bulk Import an old 1.12.2 or earlier pack that you made (or have permission to update)
  • Create New content directly in the Tool, which will require a bit of Unity knowledge to get started
