Mod development

Mods, next to Maps, is the content used in Spring.
A mod is simply a combined file containing a small structure of files and directories holding all the data required.

Mod Development wiki is a starting page, linking to very useful information on the files included in a mod, their hierarchy and more.

Almost the entire mod developing is the creation of units. Which isn't an easy job.
Information about the creation of units are everywere, but not combined.
This is a gathered list of all Tutorials and helpfull forums threads I could find:

s3o units

FBI Files

TDF Files
