1. Download a pack.
2. In Lingo, go to Settings > Gameplay and click the View Game Data button. This will open your File Manager. Create a textures folder here, if you don't have one.
3. Extract the pack zip into this folder. Image files should be at the root of the textures folder.
   Note: You can store other folders of packs in here if you'd like, for ease access. Only image files matching Lingo's materials will be used.
4. Enjoy!

1. Add textures to %app_userdata%\Lingo\textures (next to \maps). You'll need to create the textures folder.
2. Names should correspond to material names e.g. whiteBlock.png (complete list: https://github.com/BrentonWildes/Lingo/tree/main/materials). Some of these are unintuitive (e.g. "mint" is aquaBlock, "yellow" is sunBlock not yellowBlock), so you'll probably need to look around in the Godot editor to figure out which is which.
3. Any standard image file format should work. If you're doing crisp graphics, you probably want .png. "Realistic" probably should use .jpeg.
4. Images should be square, ideally a power-of-two size (e.g. 16px, 32px, 64px, 128px, 256px, ...) since those have the best GPU performance. Smaller = better performance, so don't make them all huge unless you need to. They do not all need to be the same size.
5. If you make the images 64x64px or smaller, they will be rendered pixel-y ala Minecraft. If you make them >64px, they'll do regular antialiasing smooth/blurry resizing. [This can be changed if there are good use cases]
6. "Cutout" transparency is supported (i.e. 100% and 0% alpha), but full alpha translucency is not. For existing translucent blocks (e.g. glassBlock), your cutout texture will be overlaid on top of the existing material, rather than replacing it, since there's no way to replicate the existing translucency. For existing opaque blocks, your cut-out texture will replace the existing material. Transparency rendering is expensive, so keep in mind it may impact performance or raise the minimum system requirements.
7. It is not currently possible to set PBR material parameters (e.g. how metallic or reflective it is, normal/bump mapping, etc). [This can be changed if there are good use cases]
