====== Assets ======

Doomsday 2 manages resources as [[assets]]. In practice, an asset is comprised of [[Doomsday Script]] and a set of associated files inside a [[fs:package]].

Before you start working with assets, you should have a good understanding of how [[fs:packages]] work in Doomsday 2.

===== Assets by type =====

^ Identifier ^ Name |
| ''model.thing.*''| [[assets:model|3D model for a thing (skeletal animation)]] |
| ''model.weapon.*''| [[assets:model|3D model for a player weapon (skeletal animation)]] |
| ''texture.particle.*''| [[assets:texture:particle|Particle image]] |
| ''texture.reflect.*''| [[assets:texture:reflect|Reflection cube map]] |

===== Common characteristics =====

  *  **Relative file paths.** When an asset refers to a file, the path is relative to the [[modding:ScriptedInfo]] file where the path is specified.
  *  [[assets:Low-level image filtering]]

===== Guidelines =====

  * [[modding:Resource packaging guidelines]]

===== Other resources =====

  ; [[assets:shader]]
  : OpenGL shader program

===== Implementation status (1.15 →) =====

The asset system was first introduced in [[version:1.15]]. It was only used for the GL2 model renderer.

In [[version:2.0]], new asset types were added for particle texture images and 3D model reflection cube maps.
