Modification Tips Editor Needed

[MarkG]

it becomes obvious that there is a need to gather all the various(small and big) tips for modifying CTP2

one of these days we'll have some system to update the modification pages, but there is still the need for someone finding the right stuff in the forums, formatting it correctly and perhaps posting it in the CTP2 section

so the question is: Do you want to work at Apolyton?

Actually, I *did* considered writing a 'modmaking for dummies' guide of some sort that would contain step-by-step instructions on basic things such as adding units/civs/advances/etc. but it turns out that, because I have the beta and not the final game, there's a lot that I can't write about yet: I got stuck on 3 subjects already. So I just gave up on, at least for the time being. Once I get my copy of the final game SLIC will have my priority but maybe I can spare some time...

But doing this kind of thing as a 'job'? Nah, too busy making mods myself...

Sounds like an excellent idea though.

Mark- approximately how many hours a day or week will this take? I might be interested.

[MarkG]

i'm sure it will be something you could do over the weekened, to give you an idea...

[LandBuilder]

Would this be a separate section? or a sub section of Creation?

[MarkG]

all this would go the Modification pages in the ctp2 section http://apolyton.net/ctp2/modification/

[MarkG]

*grin* do I get a special honorary title for my work on CtP1?

Jests aside, this is a great idea. To help with this, all the modmakers should keep a journal / version history. What they changed, what they took out, and why.
