Variant packs

Several skins of the same prop in one resource, each with its own spawn name. One pack holds up to 10 skins.

What a variant pack is

A variant pack builds several skins of the same prop into one resource. Each skin is its own prop with its own spawn name. Our pack made three barriers from one model:

The three skins of the pack built for this guide: barrier_blue and barrier_yellow recoloured with Hue, barrier_neon from an AI Design take.

Good uses: the same sign for several shops, a crate in team colours, seasonal versions of a decoration.

Adding skins

Edit the first skin as usual, then press Add variant in the new prop settings. It is on the settings screenshot.

  • A new skin starts as a copy of the skin you are editing, including its changes. Press Revert on a texture to start that one from the original.
  • The copy is independent: changing it does not change the skin it came from.
  • A pack holds up to 10 skins. The + tile disappears at the limit.

The variant strip

With a second skin, a strip appears under the editor:

  1. 1. Editing: the skin you are changing
  2. 2. barrier_blue: click to edit, double-click the name to rename
  3. 3. +: copies the skin you are editing
  • Editing names the skin you are changing and says which of how many it is, for example variant 3 of 3.
  • Click a tile to edit that skin. Your changes on the current one are kept.
  • Double-click the name under a tile to rename it. Enter saves, Esc cancels.
  • Pointing at a tile shows two buttons: copy this skin and delete it. A delete can be undone from the message that appears.

Pack name and spawn names

  1. 1. Pack name: the resource folder
  2. 2. Exports as: one spawn name per skin
  3. 3. credits (3 variants)
  4. 4. Create pack (3 variants)

With more than one skin, Spawn name becomes Pack name. It names the resource and the .ytyp. The skins are called pack name plus _1, _2 and so on, unless you rename them. Exports as shows the first and the last name.

  • Our pack is named barrier; the skins were renamed to barrier_blue, barrier_yellow and barrier_neon.
  • Every skin needs its own name. The same rules as for a single prop apply: choosing a spawn name.
  • Every skin needs at least one changed texture, or the pack cannot be created.
