| Mods, next to Maps, is the content used in Spring.<br>
| |
| A mod is simply a combined file containing a small structure of files and directories holding all the data required.<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>
| |
| | |
| Almost the entire mod developing is the creation of units. Which isn't an easy job.<br>
| |
| Information about the creation of units are everywere, but not combined.<br>
| |
| This is a gathered list of all Tutorials and helpfull forums threads I could find:<br>

| * '''servo''' write skeleton position is not a complete tool;
| |
| '''servo''' is mandatory for make complex move :not orthonal;
| |
| '''servo''' is only an helper ,same a office suite for write .fbi .tdf ,but dont teach yu or made the work itself;
| |
| '''servo''' is a bit wrong but seems usefull;
| |
| that help if yu mastering the .bos
| |
| ''understand'' : with '''servo''' yu mov a leg and set a flag that write the position in a .bos but its "move now" that isnt a clean usage!
| |
| yu need to rewrite all with accelerate and speed synthax and just keep the coordiantes;
| |
| because if not yur legs go instanly at the followong position and than yu will need a smothanim=1;(in .fbi)
| |
| but it is a kind of antialiasing that load the gpu (i think so but maybe its false);
