Adding assets to a server

This page describes the steps necessary to add assets to a private server; it's not possible to add assets to the official Planeshift server if you're not in the developers team.

The process to create such contents is described in the Creating Art and mods page.

Preamble

The location of the various assets is defined in the file vfs.cfg. By default the resources are grouped toghether in a zip file, and most of the xml files are converted in binary format with CS's docconv utility; however, for better clarity we'll assume in this page that the files are unzipped in an appropriate directory (materials for materials.zip, meshes for meshes.zip, etc).
