A .map file is simply a single line of text, with two terms separated by a space. When there are multiple entries in the .map file, the text resembles two columns.
The first column in the .map file is for the string you want to search for in the atom file, and the second column is the string that contains the replacement content for the scene.
To create a .map file:
- Open a text file.
- Enter the string with the content you want to replace, surrounded by quotation marks (""). For example, "Bob_spine1".
- Press Spacebar to enter a space, and follow it with
"Rick_spine1". This means that the .map file is to take the animation from Bob's spine in the ATOM file and apply it to Rick's spine in the scene
The file should resemble this:
...and so on.
