Testing Your Shell

Follow the steps below for incorporating your shell into Ahra Pahts.

1. Before starting, make sure you have the latest version of PlasmaShop installed and configured.
2. Install the latest version of Ahra Pahts into Uru
3. Load your shell into Blender.
4. From the File menu, choose Export->PyPrp, then choose "All as full age, per age textures (.age)"
5. Choose a temporary directory other than your Uru's dat folder - it is very important that you do not overwrite the Pahts age files.
6. Specify the save name as Pahts.age, then click the "Export .age" button.
7. Once the export finishes, exit Blender.
8. Copy your shell's PRP file (e.g. Pahts_District_Shell111.prp for shell 111) to your Uru's dat folder. It will overwrite the pre-existing PRP file for your shell.
9. If your shell has any Python files, copy them into the Python/Src directory of your Uru installation. [If you do not have a Src subdirectory, create one.]
10. Start PlasmaShop. In PlasmaShop, expand the Ages folder and then click on the + sign next to the book named "Pahts".
11. Double-click "Sum File" to bring up the Pahts.sum dialog. Click the "Auto-build Sumfile" button to recalculate the age's sum file (now that you've added your PRP file). Then click the Close button.
12. If your shell has any Python files:
    1. Expand the Python folder, then double-click the Pahts.pak file to bring up a dialog.
    2. Click on the "Add files..." button
    3. Select the Python files you copied here earlier and click OK. It will compile them and add them to the PAK file.
13. Exit PlasmaShop.
14. If you haven't yet added a Relto linking book for Ahra Pahts using UruLibraryManager, do so now.
15. Start Uru. Go to your Relto bookshelf and use the Ahra Pahts linking book. Wander over to your shell and see how it looks.

If you encounter problems while loading Ahra Pahts with your new shell, it may be due to conflicts between object names. Make sure your shell adheres to the naming conventions listed in the Shell Checklist.
