i facepalm

from Elemental Forums


i opened up the ginsu mod because i was curious to see how they were added in. I was struck by the simplicity of it. It made me realize that if i wanted to add something to core items i didn't have to replace the whole entry. Any items I added in would just be appended to the main file, so to speak. That seemed very counterintuitive to me lol - assumed the whole entry would need to be changed to include only one fix. But then in retrospect, that wouldnt be very mod friendly would it. yea...

I walk away from this realizing it's easier to mod this than i thought :)

Adding new content is generally easy. It's when you want to change vanilla content that things get messy.

I can't remember which thread it was that taught me that.  When I first started modding the game, I was changing core files.  This way is so much easier, and you can actually use a sort of version control due to the way files are looked up.
