What is a project directory?
When you save your JED files, you should always use a “project directory.” Basically, a project directory is a directory you use to save all files related to a specific level. For instance, I have JED installed in “C:\Jed\” – Under that, I have a directory called “Projects.” In my “Projects” directory, I have a folder for each of my levels-in-progress. Why have a project directory? Well, when you gob your level, JED includes all the files in the directory your .jed file is saved in (including subdirectories) – so, if you just save your jed files in the root of your C drive, JED will automatically include all contents of your C drive. You’d then get a huge gob file that would most likely crash your computer. From this point on, we’ll assume that you do have a project directory.
