First of all, I'm unsure if this has already been posted somewhere else, but I did some searching and found nothing. Anyway, don't shout "OMGZ SCAMMER U STOLZ CODE!!!!!1" at me. I didn't I did this myself. It's not that hard so most of you won't need this, but for the new guys, this will certainly help you out.
Difficulty 0/5
Seriously. Copy and paste.
Now then. If you take a look at your client folder, you'll notice that it has ALOT of folders in.
Right, first of all, Lets look at the Src folder. At the moment, that is the most important thing in that folder apart from the game itself. However, when you actually get to release the game, in the distributed copy, FOR GODS SAKE delete the whole folder. Otherwise you'll have people running havoc all over your game.
All the other folders hold the files that are vital for the game's content. However they make the client folder look very untidy.
So this is what we'll do:

So this is what we'll do:
- 1) Open up your client project in VB
2) Open the Module "ModConstants"
3) Find the constants: Map Path, GFX Path, Sound path, Music Path and Log Path.
4) just before the first / and after the first " put /Files on all of the above mentioned constants
5) Save, Compile, and exit VB6
6) Return to your client folder, and make a new folder called Files. Put all the folders apart from Src into this new folder.
7) Enjoy your new tidy client!
