Mod Tutorial
Mod Tutorial
Heyo, i didnt know whether it is better to post here or in the modding discussion.
I have made a simple basic modding tutorial for people who are completely fresh, who just want to add littel things, or get their foot in the door or something. I may make more tutorials about modding, im not sure.
Im really looking for feedback about this tutorial and i am really interested to hear about how helpful it is and any and all ways i can improve.

Re: Mod Tutorial
Very good lesson. Clear concept, nice repetition of the learned, nice searching for errors and presentation at the end
(BTW in my workshops I try always to put in some errors, so that the participants needs to "wake up" and I can see, if they really understand, what they learned).
I would move this to Modding Help, make that there sticky and leave a link here in videos. Better ideas?

Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.
Have you used the Advanced Search today?
Need help, question? FAQ - Wiki - Forum help
I still like small signatures...

I think having it in the modding help would be the most useful place, but i wasn't too sure, i guess people wont look in videos if they need a modding tutorial
So your idea is the best way
Re: Mod Tutorial
Awsome tutorial Klonan! It seems very easy to follow, and you explain every step, perfect!
I am going to try myself, hope I can make something!

Re: Mod Tutorial
Is this for latest 0.12.x Version?
Because many mods are still 0.11 and not ported or dropped (for what ever reason).
Now I want to change localy those parts which must be changed and also, if the orignial
author agrees I want to release the updated mods.
(At this point I wasn't able to finde Advanced Logistic System for 0.12 on factoriomods.com,
can it be added back again? Only found able in the forum.)
Is there also a better IDE such as Notepad++ which can read trought the lua events or other
vanilla lua code like with INTELIJ and PHP (I mean this helpfull window which showas you all
accessible vars, methods, functions, ...).
Hope that smth. in this way is possible to setup .

Re: Mod Tutorial
The tutorial only covers prototype stuff, none of which has been changed from 0.11.x up to the most recent experimental release.Chaos234 wrote:Is this for latest 0.12.x Version?

The parts of a mod which need updating are in the control.lua scripting, which has been changed and affected since 0.11 and 0.12.11.
Re: Mod Tutorial
Thats right because many of the old stuff before that versions are causing some nice errors. But not only control.lua has to be edited, thereKlonan wrote:The tutorial only covers prototype stuff, none of which has been changed from 0.11.x up to the most recent experimental release.Chaos234 wrote:Is this for latest 0.12.x Version?

must also be an updated migration file (if required) which must also follow the new modding api (which I am searching since a while but can't
found a PDF documentation or smth. similar with some demo content).
Well, thanks for your replay. I am going to fix (localy) the other stuff which won't work actually .
Re: Mod Tutorial
Please never do this. It's annoying when you try to use a workshop as a reference and then this happens. Also you just put uncertainty into the mind of the viewer.ssilk wrote: (BTW in my workshops I try always to put in some errors, so that the participants needs to "wake up" and I can see, if they really understand, what they learned).
Only make mistakes when you need to demonstrate something that makes sense but you need to shoe the viewer why its wrong.
