How to add custom assets

A Guide how to add custom assets to Amnesia: The Bunker.

Downloading assets

In this guide we are using Amnesia Rebirth ATDD Asset Pack by TechOFreak & Patrisiogames.

To download a file in moddb:

1. Go to files
2. Click the file
3. Click Download now button.

Copying assets

Assets must be copied in your mod's root directory: Amnesia The Bunker\mods\YOUR MOD\

Do NOT copy them into: Amnesia The Bunker\mods\YOUR MOD\Assets\

1. Open the Zip. file and go to assets folder (image 1)
2. Drag and drop the folders you want to: Amnesia The Bunker\mods\YOUR MOD\ (image 2)

Do NOT copy models folder since that is for Amnesia: Rebirth and will NOT work in Amnesia: The Bunker

Adding necessary files

Now we need to create some files to make the assets work.

resources file

1. Create a new .txt file named resources.txt in your mod's root directory:
   
   \Amnesia The Bunker\mods\YOUR MOD
   
   
2. Open the file and paste directories you want
   
   Example:
   
   <Resources>
   <Directory Path="/billboards" AddSubDirs="true"/>
   <Directory Path="/config" AddSubDirs="true"/>
   <Directory Path="/entities" AddSubDirs="true"/>
   <Directory Path="/graphics" AddSubDirs="true"/>
   <Directory Path="/maps" AddSubDirs="true"/>
   <Directory Path="/music" AddSubDirs="true"/>
   <Directory Path="/sounds" AddSubDirs="true"/>
   <Directory Path="/static_objects" AddSubDirs="true"/>
   <Directory Path="/textures" AddSubDirs="true"/>
   </Resources>
   
   
3. Go to File->Save as...
   
4. Change the file name from resources.txt to resources.cfg and click save.

You can delete the unnecessary .txt file

lookUpDirs file

1. Create a folder named editor in your mod's root directory:
   
   \Amnesia The Bunker\mods\YOUR MOD
   
   
2. Open the editor folder
   
3. Create a new .txt file named lookupdirs.txt
   
4. Open the file and paste the categories you want
   
   Example:
   
   <Directories>
   <Dir Category="StaticObjects" Path="assets/static_objects" />
   <Dir Category="Entities" Path="assets/entities" />
   <Dir Category="Billboards" Path="assets/billboards" />
   <Dir Category="Particles" Path="assets/particles" />
   <Dir Category="Sounds" Path="assets/sounds" />
   </Directories>
   
   
5. Go to File->Save as...
   
6. Change the file name from lookupdirs.txt to lookupdirs.cfg and click save.

WIPMod file

1. Make sure you have launched LevelEditor.exe atleast once.
   
2. Go to C:\Users\YOUR USER\Documents\HPL3
   
3. Create a new .txt file named WIPMod.txt
   
4. Paste your mod's entry.hpc file location between ""
   
   Example:
   
   <WIPmod Path="C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Amnesia The Bunker\mods\YOUR MOD\entry.hpc" />
   
   
5. Go to File->Save as...
   
6. Change the file name from WIPMod.txt to WIPMod.cfg and click save.
