Walt jbox1 Do check if someone made a similar mod before.
Nobody wants to be falsely accused.
(Unless you do. Then I'm judging you.)
Do use proper spelling and grammar.

      Do NOT make a part a wedge.
      If the wedge is of an pre-existing shape( e.g. armor wedges) , make the wedge the part.
      Had some experiences with making a wedge out of a shield in the past...oh the horrors...

        jbox1 To all modders using Windows Notepad, I pity you.

        heh.

        HEH.

        I used to use Windows Notepad 😛

            Ultranova D:

                  jbox1 DO use version control software (like GitHub) so you can easily manage your versions and so you don't have to reupload and change download links for every update.

                  Also, add Sublime Text to the text editor part

                      jbox1 DO plan ahead, the fiirst few parts in my mod were just things I randomly came up with, making it quite messy, using stuff like trello can really help with this.

                        jbox1 DO add language packs
                        Because some people have to use Google Translate to use the forums!

                            FireShredder24 In all due respect, most modders simply don't have the time to add the extra localisation files :/

                            Ofc, if you are a native speaker in a language, by all means, feel free to add them. Otherwise, it's a LOT of work.

                              Lafiel I can provide plenty of examples of this. ahem 😬

                                  Ultranova How is it better? I still use plain old notepad

                                      mystique rubs temples

                                      You try coding an entire part (with buffs) in notepad from stratch. I'll wait.

                                          Ultranova I've done it a few times now

                                          Ultranova It's not hard

                                                Using what tools depends on how used or proficient or skilled people are. I use notepad all the time and only Notepad++ when hunting errors. Notepad is faster to handle and I use an old version which insist on proper line break codes. So the text is consistent and won't fail due to some bad programs.

                                                hmm bad modding habets... i got one

                                                DON'T Reuse the same texture over and over
                                                It makes your mods look incomplete and cheap.

                                                  lol I use Windows Notepad

                                                    Lafiel I want that old version!
