How do you use files that you did not create?

I know when you download libraries they are attached to your game, or at least the one I downloaded did. But what about the extra files you get with BYOND like skin.dmf?
I would like to use some of them to practice with and see how its all set up but I can not get them linked to my file list in the editor for my test game.

Libraries?

#include <file>


I believe that's the proper way, it may be the <code>file_dir</code> instead.

Man your quick, I just answered you in another post. I don't know libraries, files - the ones you find in resources.
Anyway I tried #include and I got "cannot find file"
How do you input the other one? I mean file_dir has to be defined somehow right?

Libraries are in a red folder at the bottom of files. Click the checkbox and it's in.

Thanks Lugia, The one I have is checked but I think I have to get another download to actually use it. I got it for later use anyway when I get better at mapping and such.
Its the skins folder I want from the initial BYOND download that I can't figure out how to link to.

You can find the original skin file in your main BYOND folder:

Main Byond Folder -> Skins -> BYOND -> skin (byond interface folder)


After you find it, you can copy and paste it into the file of the project you're currently working on, and then make sure it is check-marked on the file tree in your compiler.
