Creating an Arrow Type
Create a folder named shared in your mod's main directory, then inside that folder create another one named images and in that folder create another folder called ui skins and in that folder create another folder called default (or whatever ui skin(s) you want your arrow type to be for). Then in that folder, create another one called arrows.
In the arrows folder put the spritesheet for your arrow type. Make sure to rename the PNG and XML to the name of your arrow type (also set the imagePath variable in your XML to the PNG name)
The XML names for the arrows are different in Leather Engine arrow spritsheets (because of the amount of keys we have), which means you may have to edit your XML to get the spritesheet to work properly.
This is because the original spritesheets use the names green, blue, red, purple, etc to name their notes. This can get very disorganized quickly however, so Leather Engine arrow spritesheets use the direction of the arrow as it's animation name (with things like the second set of 4 keys in 9 key being left2 instead of left). AKA red => right, blue => down, etc.
Also the middle of 9 keys (aka the grey note / diamond notes) is called square in the new XMLs.
Create a folder named _append in your mod's main directory, then make another folder inside it called data, and then another folder inside that one called ui skins
Create a folder named data in your mod's main directory, then inside that folder make two more folders named arrow types and ui skins.
In the arrow types folder create a .txt file with the same name as your arrow type (CASE SENSITIVE).
Line 1 controls if you should hit the note or not (ie: if you miss from hitting it), it can either be true or false.
Line 2 controls the amount of damage taken when you hit the note.
Line 3 controls the amount of damage taken when you miss the note.
Line 4 controls the amount of damage taken when you miss a held version of the note. (v0.4.0+)
Line 5 controls if you get a miss from missing a note (v0.5.0+)
In the ui skins folder create folders for the names of each ui skin you want your arrow type to support.
Then in each ui skin's folder create a .txt file with the name of your arrow type.
Line 1 controls the Y Offset in game.
Line 2 controls the X Offset in the charter.
Line 3 controls the size (y) of the notes in the charter.
Line 4 controls the Y Offset in the charter.
Line 5 controls the size (x) of the notes in the charter. (v0.4.0+)
Line 6 controls whether the note is effected by Note Color (true or false) (by default is true). (v0.5.0+)
In _append/data add a file named arrowTypes.txt and put the arrow type name in it.
Make a new folder in _append/data called ui skins and then make folders for all the ui skins you want to support and put a file named types.txt in each one, then put the arrow type name in the types.txt.
