BaseDumper.location

This value represents the base location which the write destination of all other assets should be relative to. It is populated by __init__().

BaseDumper.dump

Spec

instance.dump(pack)

Description

This method must be implemented by each dumper class. Its job is to determine the write destination for each asset in the AssetPack passed in pack and write the asset data to that destination. If any asset fails to write for any reason, this method is expected to raise a DumperError.
