Hello ALL TM fans

All image are clear to understand.
if you's are making it for a mod/music/sounds etc its done the same way but have to make the note pad doc file in the main folder of the mod/music/sound etc.
Extra info make sure you use the upper caps for the loc file "L" the low caps so should look like this Loc
Step 1. Right click on the thing you want to make the Loc file for, please note i am making an image file here in this tuta.

Interesting, didn't realize Google provided non-referrer hotlinking. Good to know!
