This "mod" is really just a template repository, designed to help with making rimworld mods, by haveing many useful folders pre-made, and an about file set up with common requirments. More useful additions comming soon!
Useing this template is supposed to be (realitivly) self-explanitory, with placeholder files that explain what each folder is for. However , as I also tried to make them simple enough to be easy to see on most editors at a glance (many even built directly into the titles), a more in-depth Explanation and Guide is here, along with more info.
- you will need to edit some files, such as:
- Removing links to my stuff
- Changeing Templates as needed
- Altering Tags
- Deleting unescessary folders
- adding source code (if applicable)
- Changeing README to fit your mod, not this current one
- This template will get sporiadic, sometimes random, updates. Some add features, some just strictly are "what happens if I move this github file to here" or "how does this pull request type work?"
There are some things you should note, including the fact that you will need to:
- Remove files you don't want
- alter templates
- remove notes
- change mod ID's
- Remove the "common requirments" I put in that you don't use
- Add in other mods you need
- Change name
- add URL (optional) or remove spot
- Change Author
- a whole lot more
There are many drawbacks, the ones I know of noted bellow (more details at the linked part of the wiki)
- constant changes/ features (hopefully improvments). As this is a template, once used, you can only get the improvements by manually brining in any changes
- As it's a template, any updates won't go to mods already made with this, unless you manually download my changes
- parts will need complete re-writes, unless you want to have a modID that duplicates with anyone who doesn't re-use it, and link to my server, and have an unrelated readme
- it has hard requirements that you need to remove if not wanted
- you still have to manually install source code and
- there are many planned (and unplanned) features
- I also use this as a testbed to see how different parts of GitHub works, so it might drastically break at any time
- Explanation isn't that good (probally)
- has many parts you probaly won't need, that you will need to manually prune
- Look at the "general notes" and "notes". most of those are kinda negative...
There are some benifits. The ones I can think of are:
- Pre-made folders
- useful templates pre-made
- some security pre set-up
- constant improvements (complete with Planned Features)
