Categories

[wcs]

Renamed it to 0cat_neuterland_zone, still getting the category not found error.

Did i wrote my code correctly, above? Also, my category is a separate .json and not a part of the zones .json, that will work right?

My category is a separate .json and not a part of the zones .json.

If the category json is after the zone json then it won't work. Put some zs in zone json or as in cat json.

Thanks, I will try this one, where do I put this? On the each of the .json ID?

@yusuf8a684 Could you send the sample .json that you offered, I would like to take a look at it and see if I can implement it in my .json, thanks!

No, you just name the category defining json with a name that TheoTown will read before any json that uses the category.

This can be folders or json file names.

Folder named 000c
File named Category.json
Folder named UsesCategory
File named UsesCategory.json

Or if files are in same folder, then:
000definescat.json
Usescat.json

Oh, that's right.
Category folders should be upper from it's items. Like, red circled folder is category of the categories that shown with red arrow and yellow circled folder is category of the rails

These all folders that has 00 in the name is a category folder

Thank you so much guys, I am quite busy right now, I will try your suggestions when I am free.

For no reason, the building keep saying that there is no any category that match the one I coded to the building EVEN I copy id from the custom category that I made

Categories have to be loaded before they are called, so the best practice would be to put its definition in the same file.

how to add subcategory inside a category?

[Kulche]

You put the category into a category; same way as any other draft

[Ross The Mayor]

Can anyone help. How do you place a plugin in a category within another of a category? So let's say a grass decal within a grass category within ground category in vanilla terrain category.

[Kulche]

you put the category draft inside of a category, there's nothing fancy involved
