This is probably information I should know already but I don't.
If I include a CAS Part resource (literally JUST the CAS Part resource) from an EP in a package and somebody who doesn't own that EP puts the package in their game, will it show up? Will it be a blank entry? Will it be fine and as though the content isn't there?
I'm making overrides for the glasses in the game to correct categories and colours tags. I was going to merge them all into one file when I realised some are from EPs and therefore might cause issues if players without those packs used it in their games.
Any feedback on this is much appreciated and I promise I'll try and remember for future use.
I've never tried this. What *should* happen is that the game sees all the resources that have pack IDs compatible with whatever the player has installed. What may happen is that the game reads the package, runs into an ID it doesn't recognize, and skips to the next package. I would have someone without the EP of interest test the package to find out for sure how the game will handle this.
Okay then. Would I be better off asking here or in the Creator Help section do you think?
Either way, I'll share here to begin with.
If you DO NOT own Get to Work, Movie Stuff, Vintage Stuff, Seasons, or the Life of the Party Digital pack then please try it out in your game and report your findings. DO you get catalogue entries for the content you don't own?
Here's what I own, and the glasses I see.
With your package, I'm not sure which ones I might be missing (if any).
I found the package manifest contains 21 names, so presumably I don't see all the glasses from your package, since my CAS shows 15 glasses.
Excellent! Thank you. It looks as though I can include all the resources in a merged package then and the game will just ignore the ones that you don't have the packs for.
Just to double check, you do own the Digital Life Of The Party content, yeah? Just checking because the star glasses are showing for you but the pack doesn't have an icon on the main screen.
Hi menaceman44 hmmm, I don't own that.
If you need to broaden the test, it's fine to cross-post in Creator Help.
