i con't make them from scratch so i edit existing one, so say you are making a Llama

i am going to choose the first dl folder i find, so i find say Martin1990s vendor, the dl floder contains a line like this

thanks gibbon for that useful information am closing and pinning this for creators. (i always make my own dl files for creators who havent done so also i make a folder for each creator to put their stuff into so it makes it easier for me when i am testing things out)
