ArtRage Package and Script Files.

... within the Colors folder (Resources>Colors>My Colors>Colors1).

Hi Someonesane,
Thanks for the answer but I've already looked in this folder after having added my package. And there is no other "col" file instead of the default ones.
I tried to remove and add the package again but I have the same problem.
It is strange because the pencil and ink pen files can be well retreived in the "Resources" folder after the package add.

Hmm. Have you tried to repack the .col file group with the .arscript? Maybe it didn't attach properly, or wasn't dropped over the correct group during its addition to the pack (a mistake I've made a couple times in past). If you have tried to recreate the pack group, and it still does show, then it might be a bug, which the AR team will have to look for.

I have found the "problem".
When we add a package, the files are not installed in the "Resources" folder located in the installation folder (for me, under "Program Files").
They are installed in the "Resources" folder located here :
"C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Ambient Design\ArtRage 3\Resources"
It is not a problem for the pens because Artrage permit de choose it by the user interface. But for the colors, we have to locate the "col" file. The problem is that "AppData" is an hidden folder and so it is not very practical (I don't want to have to show the hidden folders).
Maybe an option could be added in the next releases to choose the colors added in a simpliest way (like the pens).

Selecting Tools > User Content > Open Users Color Pickers Folder will bring you directly to the folder, without having to remove the hidden feature. It'd be nice to have that option directly on the Samples panels menu, too, like the Stencils panel and the presets panel has.

Due to the size of most ArtRage Package Files, and the potential size of Script files that include paintings, while we will be making some available directly from our site we will unfortunately be unable to host them directly on our forums.

Hiya Matt
Just wondering if it would be possible for Ambient to allow .arpack files with the same file size limitations as .pdf and .stk files for upload here?

Now that we've released 3.5.1 we're going to start looking at Package and Script options again, I'll let you know as soon as we have something sorted, but that may be an option!

Fantastic... thanks Matt
