Grouping images

by baylor wetzel · in Torque Game Builder · 08/16/2007 (10:05 am) · 2 replies

My game currently has ~100 images in it (will probably double before i'm done). In TGB, they're all in the Static Sprites section, unsorted and ungrouped/categorized, so finding art has become kinda painful. On my hard drive, the images are in various folders (backgrounds, icons, splash screens, characters, etc.)

Is there a way in the TGB interface to group images into folders? Alternately, is there any way to make finding images in TGB easier? i'm guessing no but figured it couldn't hurt to ask

I certainly haven't found an easier way than to have all one hundred images on the screen.

I suppose you could group them into multi-frame images but that's not always a solution.

It would be REALLY nice to be able to create folders within TGB where you could store different tilesets and animations. Like under the animation tab I could have a folder for animated tiles, and I could have a bunch of different folders for animated characters, etc.

There must be some sort of way to organize them though, I hope so anyway.
