Hi everyone,
While I was digging around the forum looking for answers on my questions, it occurred to me to note the links I found most helpful in answering the necessary “noob” questions, and to organize them into a reference of sorts. Hope it will help all you new modders as it helped me.
This list is incomplete, mainly because I am continuing to search the forum (and will be updating the Modopedia in the process), but also because I am sadly incompetent in the arts of modeling and texturing and have therefore omitted all questions related to this. If you want to add more links, please PM your list to me (preferably with a short title for each link) and I will edit this front post – just to keep the Modopedia in a single piece.
I tried to list only the most helpful links, to save time spent on browsing. Some material is repeated several times, some other is outdated. Let me know if I missed something.
A good place to begin – before reading this forum section and using Modopedia – is to do the Module System Documentation tutorial very carefully, step by step. It has answers for most of the noob questions, and time spent doing the tutorial will return tenfold when you get to actual work
Another general request to all those who post new threads would be: please make the names of your threads *specific*! Instead of writing smth like “Help me help me or I will die!!!” a more relevant “need help with creating an item (or whatever)” would be more in order.
Yours, SC.
