if i save my own tga pic files here, will they be erased on future patches?

[frosty apex]

edited some of these power auras, but w/ all the recent patch updates, had to remake one twice; no big deal at all, thankfully my edited version is very simple. basically i took aura #69 & filled it & renamed it #70 since i don't use #70 anyways. but w/ each patch update it wipes it, so i figure i may as well make them correctly lol & put them in the right spot... or just add them to the end of the list? you can see here that i added them to the end of the list (there is no #146+, the last four are mine)
should i put them in a different folder, or is it okay what i did here?

Don't rename files just add new ones

files in Interface\Addons are added by addons. If an addon gets updated and you made changes to one of it's files then it will overwrite your changes during that update.

ok tysm! really appreciate you, i'll just keep it w/ the new names then, tyty

don't put them into an addon folder too

addon updating also removes all files that dont belong to that addon.

[frosty apex]

oh crap, so i just need to make an extra copy on the side, then?

[celest lark]

just make a new folder \Interface\Addons\hyper and save them there and reference that file path in your aura

[frosty apex]

[deft depot]

Trouble with custom media files? Make sure you've done everything on the list in this link: #pins message

[frosty apex]

i did

nvm

nvm about nvm* lmao

[celest lark]

did you exit the game after moving the files

[frosty apex]

that was it lmao tysm ❤️ i thought i could bypass it w/ a quick /reload but exiting did the trick, tysm yall ❤️

[celest lark]

/reload only works for updating addons custom media requires game restart
