The Assets Editor is a native fullscreen editor built into BestClient for creating, mixing, and exporting custom asset packs without needing external image editors or manual file management. It integrates directly with the BestClient Shop so that anything you download lands immediately in your assets directory and shows up in the editor, ready to combine with other pieces. Whether you are crafting a personal skin, assembling a name plate set, or preparing a complete asset pack to share, the Assets Editor provides the workspace to do it all from inside the client.Documentation Index

Opening the Assets Editor
You can reach the Assets Editor through two entry points:- Main Menu → Assets Editor button in the BestClient section of the main menu.
- BestClient Settings — an open-editor shortcut may appear in relevant settings sections depending on context.
Editable Asset Types
The Assets Editor supports the following categories of game assets:| Asset Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Skins | Tee body, eyes, feet, hands, and decoration layers |
| Name Plates | Per-player name plate layouts and styling, with a dedicated name plate workflow |
| Particle Sets | Custom particle sprites used by BestClient’s visual systems |
| HUD Elements | HUD panel textures, icons, and overlay graphics |
| Entities | Map entity icons used by DDNet entity layers |
Name Plate Workflow
The name plate workflow is a first-class path in the Assets Editor. Open it via the Name Plates category to define per-player visual rules, adjust layering, and preview how name plates appear over different tee colours before exporting.Mixing Assets
The editor allows you to layer assets from different packs — for example combining a skin base from one shop download with particle and HUD elements from another. The mixing system is non-destructive: your source files are not modified, and the result is written to a new export file when you are ready.Exporting Asset Packs
Build your asset set
Select the asset types you want to include and configure each piece in the editor canvas.
Preview in context
Use the live preview pane to see how your assets look against actual DDNet gameplay elements and map styles.
Exported asset packs use the standard DDNet asset pack format and are fully compatible with vanilla DDNet clients. You can distribute exported packs to players who do not use BestClient.
Integration with the Shop
Assets downloaded through the BestClient Shop are placed directly into the appropriate data subdirectory (skins/, assets/, mapres/, etc.). The next time you open the Assets Editor those files appear in the relevant category browser automatically, with no manual copying required. This makes it easy to build a pack from several Shop downloads in a single editor session.
