A Guide to Modding?

[chenjesuwizard]

Is there some kind of guide to tell me how to mod? I mean, I have lots of ideas but I don't expect someone else to make the mod for me, so I thought, I should make it myself. So is there?

I assume you mean modding for UQM? There's no official guide for how to do it. Cedric might be able to give you some pointers since he is doing a mod and is quite a friendly chap. Meep-Eep over at UQM can help you, but probably only if you already know enough coding to understand his explanations.

  I believe that one of the criteria for UQM version 1.0 is that it is optimized for (relatively) easy modding.

[Lukipela]

Yeah, unfortunately that is still a long way off. 0.7 s supposed to see a reworked resource system, which I guess is a major step on the road to improved moddability. But we've ben waiting on 0.7 for a long time now.

thanks, I know a small amount about coding and stuff but not that much...

If you want to mod UQM, you're better off waiting for 1.0 to come out I think .

[Lukipela]

I only wish we knew when that is

Yeh, I probably will...
Thanks everyone!

That'd be awesome. I love it on games like Duke Nuke'em or Galactic Civilizations 2 where you can just screw around with the files and change things to your liking, StarControl Timewarp was good for that.

I also would love to mod the original SC2/UQM.  So a new more easily moddable version is well worth the wait.
