Items |
The elements of the selected type available on your system to include in the add-on. Check the corresponding box to include an element. In some cases, you cannot select or deselect individual items that are dependents of another item. For example, if you add a preset to your package, you have to include any SPDL files that are associated with it. If Type is Events, there are three columns: • Name indicates the name of the event handler function (for example, CheckinCurrentScene). • Event indicates which event this component is associated to (for example, OnBeginSceneOpen). • Filename indicates the path and name of the file containing the event handler (for example, C:\cc_handlers.vbs) If Type is Others, there are also three columns: • Filename indicates the name of the file associated with this component (for example, myLittleEngine.hlp). • Destination Directory indicates where the file will go inside the one you specified for the add-on. • File Path indicates where this file currently resides on your machine. |

Installation Sub-directory
Specifies a target subdirectory of the destination where the packaged files will be placed when the add-on is installed on user machines. It is recommended that add-ons be installed to subdirectories because it keeps the add-on directory structure clean and avoids name conflicts.
• Use filename installs in a subdirectory based on the add-on file’s name.
• Specify subdirectory lets you enter a subdirectory name in Custom.
• None does not use a subdirectory and installs the add-on to the root of the destination. This is not recommended.
Installation Default Destination

At installation time, users can select a different destination than specified here.
