Best way to update an existing asset with a new LOD?

[rik4000]

Hello,

Whats the best way to update an existing asset with a new custom LOD?

I am going to assume that ill have to create the asset again (by dragging relevant files into the import folder), save it then copy the new crp file into the folder of the asset i wish to update?

Any tips would be great.

Cheers

Hey rik, been doing this alot myself of late.

1.Add all usual files into import folder.
2.Create New Asset
3.Select to load current version of asset + load existing props button at the Asset Importer stage
4.On model page Select the one from import folder not default from template
5.adjust the x,y (incase is wrong way)
6.Load into the editor and check all is good
7.Save File as the same asset name you have already (should pop up with warning about overwriting)
8.Go back to main menu
9.Either load game and use Meshtools to check your LOD tris match or...
10.Goto Content Manager --> Assets --> Click the Asset that has UPDATE under it NOT share.
11.Upon next window click the windows folder under the large piccy of the asset and double click content
12. Remove the .crp file from there
13. Goto Add-ons\Asset Folder and copy the .crp with name and time closest to what you just did
14. Paste into said content folder
15. Click Update - REMEMBER remove the description from upload so that it's blank, else you'll need to re-write any steam description you have presently on the asset page
