How do I make packs of props/assets?

I've been wondering about the very handy packs you guys release on the workshop. How does that work? Can I have one texture for multiple assets?

Basicly you just copy more files into the content folder when uploading - kinda like when updating assets, if you're familiar with that. Without the Loading Screen Mod I don't think textures are shared though, but hopefully that's something we'll get again.

Ok, so when I upload one of the assets I click the little folder icon and when I'm back in Finder (I'm on a mac) I add my additional .crp files in the content folder?

Yup, that's how it works: the thumbnail goes in the root of that temporary folder, all modes, model assets,  etc. go into the 'Content' folder (that's how I included the props and textures in my Roadsigns mod).

Great! I'll give that a try tonight! Too bad assets can't share the same texture though…

Hopefully the Loading Screen Mod will come back from the dead and give us that feature again. Or even better CO will add it to the game
