Can some Dark Radiant expert help me?

Hey everyone,

 

I'm in the process of learning how to use the Dark Radiant editor. I'm creating a "test mission" for myself, I already built my map with all the models, entities, the objectives I set are working perfectly, there is only one thing I can't tackle: Readables. I don't know why, but when I put down a readable prefab on my map, edit it in the Readable Editor, and try to save it, I get the following error: "You have imported an XData definition that is contained in a PK4, which can't be accessed for saving. - Please rename your XData definition, so that it is stored under a different filename."

 

And when I rename my XData name, I get the following error: "Mod path not defined. Using base path."

 

Everything so far is crystal clear with Dark Radiant, but I seriously can't understand this whole thing about xd files, XDatas, and stuff. Can anyone help me with this?

The xdata files are what in-game readables use, you edit the xdata file (in notepad or notepad++)
to change the contents of the readable.

 

With the latest version of DR you dont need to edit the xdata files directly, you can use the readable editor, select a readable in the ortho view(large window to the right in DR) and then go to main menu>entity>readable editor

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
