Documentation
« on: December 09, 2007, 11:19:05 pm »
So, after doing the Mod tutorial, it said in one of the hint bubbles to refer to the documentation for more info. Well, IS there a documentation?

Also, while I'm at it, I have one question:
I found the number of entities to be rather limited in all existing mods (Tutorial, Template and Test), and I already figured that you have to add them to the entitiygroups.txt in the according folder. However, I have no clue at all about the names of all the entities, so I can't add anything.
So, do I really need the name of a creature before I can use it, or is there a way to add new entitiegroups through the editor?

To add new groups you can just edit the entitygroups.txt file and add to it. (in whatever mod folder you're working on)

Code: [Select]
GROUP:PartyTime
PistolShrimp
Piranha
Phonograph

etc...

You can load either stuff from the main content or from your mod. (mod stuff takes priority)

Erm, yeah, that much I figured already xD

The thing is, that I need the names in general. Like, if I want to add a particular creature from the abyss, where do I get the name I need to write into the entitygroups?

Aha I see! There's no real way to get to it, but we can release names on here by request for now.

(and maybe make an uber list later)

Don't have anyone in particular, yet, was just curious if there is some way to get the names.

I'll patiently wait for the "uber list" then ;)

It would be nice to add names of the music tracks from the original too in this uber-list  ;)
