Custom presets

Each folder acts as a preset. You can add files to both content and game. The game folder is useful for storing many compiled assets, so you don't have to recompile them every time you create an add-on.

To add a custom preset:

1. Go to Settings and click "Presets" to open the presets folder.

2. Copy the valve_default preset and modify the vmap file.

3. Or, copy an existing project and rename the files to match the addon name in this format: xxx_mapname_xxx.
