# Additional Content

### Introduction

CSV files are used by Glue to control which file types are available, and to tell Glue how to generate code to load them and create instances in code. Standard FlatRedBall types (such as Scene and AnimationChainList) are represented in a CSV file which is stored in the following location: **Global content types:**

```
<Glue EXE Location>/Content/ContentTypes.csv
```

**Project-specific types:**

```
<.GLUX folder>/GlueSettings/ProjectSpecificContent.csv
```

Glue allows for the creation of additional CSVs which can define how to load and generate code for custom content types. The New Content CSV menu option creates a new CSV file which Glue will automatically load on startup (Glue must be restarted for new or changed files to be used).

### Creating a new Csv

To create a new CSV file:

1. Select the Content->"Additional Content"->"New Content CSV..." menu option
2. Enter the name of the CSV to add. Since Glue can support any number of CSVs we recommend creating new CSVs for categories of objects rather than continually appending to existing CSVs.
3. Select whether you would like this new CSV to apply to all projects or only your current project. This will impact the location of where the CSV is saved.
4. An explorer window will appear displaying the newly created CSV (along with any other existing CSVs)

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.flatredball.com/flatredball/glue-reference/menu/content/glue-reference-menu-additional-new-csv.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
