=Mod development=<br />
Mods, next to Maps, is the content used in Spring.<br><br />
A mod is simply a combined file containing a small structure of files and directories holding all the data required.<br><br />
<br />
[[Mod_Development | Mod Development]] wiki is a starting page, linking to very useful information on the files included in a mod, their hierarchy and more.<br />
<br><br />
<br />
Almost the entire mod developing is the creation of units. Which isn't an easy job.<br><br />
Information about the creation of units are everywere, but not combined.<br><br />
This is a gathered list of all Tutorials and helpfull forums threads I could find:<br><br />
