Modding 101 Guide

from Sins Forums
I've started making a Modding guide for anyone who wants to tweak the basic end of the game.

Things like how many capital ships, fleet size, ranges, firepower, costs and such like.

The guide is being assembled on my games forum, and I'll copy it in here when complete. Click Here.

I wont be covering anything to do with ship building or graphics, just how to actually create a mod, and how to go about tweaking the main game files.

Any comments are welcome.

That seems like a good idea to me.

Tutorials and maybe FAQs?

I was talking about modding ! lol But since you mention this, I think its a game genre wide issue, and not solved by modding. :) In X3, we had a thread called "Forget Khaak, the biggest threat to my empire is the wife". lmao Classic thread.

This forum doesnt have one ? *shock*

Yes, definitely needed. The first thing I go looking for with a new game is the guides and FAQ's in the games forum !

Game booklets are written by writers but guides are written by PLAYERS. The writers leave all the important stuff out because they have never actually played the game.

Its very important for all guides to go in one place.

If nothing else, modding guides should go on the same list as the mods themselves. And at least this forum has one of those. I might post a link there when its finished and see what the mods and admins do.
