How to be a mod maker and how to mod?
Posted: 2009-04-29 15:53:14
I have added three important articles into our wiki that covers areas which seem to be neglected many times in the addon community.
Seems like there are great addon makers who have no clue how to create proper technical addon, or have no idea how to properly release, so these articles explain all this. I've collected this information when observing recent ArmA releases and inspecting the pbo contents. I'll continue keeping eye on the mod community and when specific new cases come along which should be added into the wiki, I'll do so. I'd say the most basics are included in the guides here.
Here are the links.
How to be a mod maker - politics behind being mod maker.
How to mod - technical stuff behind mod making.
How to release - proper way to release your mod.
Enjoy and most importantly... learn
