Can I make an empty project with RF?

Post by Destron »

Hey, this is what I really don't get with RF.
This is what the manual says:
Making a demo or a complete game with Reality Factory is easy. Just create a "minimum installation" - a set of directories containing only the files necessary to run Reality Factory. Then you'll need to add the rest of you game contents - levels, actors, sounds, bitmaps, and video files used by your game.
To put together a demo or a game with Reality Factory, first build your game in the standard Reality Factory directories. Then, move your files to the "minimum installation" directory and test them. Set up Reality Factory so it reflects the correct settings for your game. This means using the IniEditor to pick the correct opening splash or cut scene, menu.ini file and all the rest. Make sure your levels run properly and that they have all been compiled. Then use the VFS Explorer to locate the files that comprise your game and place them in a single VFS file.
Your game is now ready to be distributed, using a ZIP file or one of the many installer programs available on the web.
So does this mean that I have to edit the existing RF files, or does VFS explorer create an "empty" project for me? I'm confused. :\

minimum installation(no projects, just default install) is deleting all the extras that come with rf. then you make everything urself without anything from the additions

so basically when you make the installer, you just take out all the files not needed for the game, like the level editors and extra bitmaps and stuff that come with RF but arnt needed.
