Copying Scenes from Other Projects

stueynet

I am trying to work out a way to have a few people work on levels for a game I am building. The framework is built and I have all the elements in place where I could share the project folder and allow collaborators to open it up and create their own levels.

Under the hood Gamesalad creates an xml file for every scene in the game. Within each scene xml file 1.xml, 2.xml etc... there is a scene ID attribute.

After some testing, I tried duplicating just the xml file and changing the scene ID and then copying that into a new projects scenes/ folder but it did not recognize it. I cannot find any other instance of the scene ID so could someone point me as to what other files need to be updated in order to recognize a scene that has been imported by this method?

Thanks!

DBA has a app for that.

I have a few of @DeepBlueApps‌ desktop apps and they are great. I was just worried that I didn't want to merge everything. Just new scenes. I will shell out the 10 pounds and give it a whirl.

As I feared it created 2 copies of all scenes. What I would like to do is just pull the scenes I want from new files. I am comfortable working directly with the XML if anybody can point me in the right direction.

So delete the extra scenes.
