What about a wiki- like tutorial section in the forum/free wiki software next to the forum?
In the Forum(this one and the old ssm) is everything split in hundreds of threads and most of the time you/we have to explain many steps although there are 100 threads but not with exactly the same problem user xyz has.
I imagine some basic articels about making a new mod, the file system, making a new map. (advantage/disadvantage of ED42/BC42)
Making a patch (Serverside modding) something like that. Just once in a clear step by step article. And maybe later some advanced subjects.
I tried this in German some time ago: Serverseitiges Modding (the formatting is a bit buggy since a server update)
I think after some time we have a nice structured info base. For new 1942 modders and the forgetful in equal measure
It's a lot of work but I talk about adding small tutorials/explanations from time to time. Not everything within the next 6 weeks.
Instead of writing an answer that is just 70% perfect, make an article in the wiki that is 99% perfect. And if a similar question appears some weeks later, post a link and don't write a new '36% post', that require to read an older thread and all it's nebulous discussion around.
I would love to see a central bf1942 modding wiki/info base.
What do you think?
