Hi Earendil!
Can I ask for the Warband Modding Discord Link?
Thank you for Updating the Modding Guide for Us Newcomers.
(Knew about the game in 2012 play it for a bit in 2018. Only got back into it in late 2020 Found out about the Warband Mods thanks to some Youtube Videos From The Reformist TM Mod Features and Koifish Warband Experience. Been looking for an updated guide aside from the Modding Guide from 2012)

Hope you finish the Guide Soon Buddy!

A little suggestion, maybe add an info about 'restore module data' to the guide. Might help to save some modders' time that didn't know about it by removing the need to restart the game.

From what I just tried, when working on triggers in mission templates, the changes is applied instantly (doesn't even need to leave the mission). I think it also works with things like animations, scripts, or possibly brf resources, but need to test it out first.
 
I have planned already to write some passage about this, at the moment you can find at chapter 9 already some links for it (although the old key combo for it is not working anymore). I only haven't found the time yet to formulate it out properly. At the moment most of my time is spent on the html conversion of the modding guide for better usage.

As a spoiler, at some point these key combos here might also prove useful for you at some point :wink:
  • Shift+Ctrl+M -> Animation Data restor
  • Shift+Ctrl+V -> Menu Variables are loaded, language files are loaded, skyboxes are load
  • Ctrl+F -> Effect file recompiled

New update at the Modding Guide:
The pdf Modding Guide pdf has been reworked into multiple html documents, all together called MaBLED (Mount & Blade Language and Engine Documentation). It should give you a quicker and better overview above the various topics and make the access easier.
It can be downloaded directly from the GitLab, you can unzip it at any place you like, even within a folder in your mod. Start it with a simple click on MaBLED.html which opens the offline-documents at your webbrowser.

Special credit goes to Swyter for helping me out at some html problems!

Also, I think it would be great if the manual was available online, hosted on a website. GitHub has an option to store HTML documents like on a website (with a custom URL), so it may be a perfect option.

Swyter already suggested the same, GitLab has a similar function
https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/pages/index.html
I looked a bit into it but haven't understood it yet fully. I wanted to take a look at it again when I have more time to understand what all is needed for it to work.

Thank you for the excellent work. There are some errors found in the text (quoting posts and your writing), such as typos and tag pair. Is it better to point it out via private messages?

I'm trying to translate this HTML document into Japanese. In my Japanese version, in order to improve maintainability, I will improve duplicated codes (in the header/footer section, pre/code tags, etc.) by putting into a subroutine (script) or by adding CSS, and will add sample codes like "How to display Hello World!" or "how to create English *.csv files", etc. in the translator's notes.

You can either write them down here or in a private message, whatever you prefer. And thanks for taking the time to write them down!

Good luck and success with your work! I tried to stay as simple as possible with my html-work, due to the facts that I have no deep knowledge there and that I wanted everyone to be able to look into it.
