Importing Old Settings
Note: Approximately 200 Windlight settings have already been imported and can be found in Library → Environments folder.
- Go to World Menu → Environment → My Environments
- If you don't see the Inventory - Settings folder, click the + at the bottom of the window and create a new Sky, Water or Day Cycle.\
- Subfolders are optional.
- Expand the folders in Library → Environments → Days, Skies, or Water.
- Right-click and copy as desired to your Inventory → Settings folder.
- Once these windlights are copied into your Inventory → Settings folder, they will appear in your Quick Preferences menu.
To import your other old Windlight settings into EEP:
- Open an environment editor (Day Cycle, Sky, or Water)
- Select the Import button; this will open a file picker dialog
- Navigate to where you have stored your Windlight XML files and select the file you would like to import:
- Windows:
- C:\Program Files\Firestorm_64\app_settings\windlight (old built-in Windlights)
- C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Firestorm_x64\user_settings\windlight (personalized custom files)
- Mac
- ~/Applications/Firestorm_64; right click > show package contents > Contents/Resources/windlight (old built-in Windlights)
- ~/Library/Application Support/Firestorm/User Settings/Windlight (personalized custom files)
You should import Windlights of the same type as the editor you have open (Day Cycle, Sky, or Water). Windlight XML files are very sensitive to the directory structure. On your hard drive, you should find the files laid out as follows: ./windlight/days ./windlight/skies ./windlight/water.
Note that environments do not persist across login sessions at this time.
New Group Ability If a group member other than the owner needs to apply an environment to a parcel, assign the ability under Parcel Settings - Modify environment settings and day cycle.
