Forum talk:Posting a Modder's Guide to Paradox

Alright it has been about week without any response by any authorities and/or moderators saying we can't have any mods for paradox on this site. Which, in the interest expedition, I see as being a polite amount of time to wait for any objections to be raised before moving forward, and shall now interpret the lack of response as a silent aproval.

That said, I'm still at a lose as to how Paradox Mods should by organized on the site. We have a Side Stories section for creative content made for the origional game, but Paradox Mods (which I see as being in similar scope yet distinct) could be listed in their own separate directory. But the nuances of this site's organization are beyond me, and the task might be better handled by some with more experience than myself. I'll leave the discussion of site organization to the wider comunity.

In regards to the Modders Guide itself, I am thinking of breaking the guide down to three seperate walkthroughs. Each of which will intermittently expose the reader to differnt aspects of the games internal organization, while leading them through some greater objective. These objectives being what I see as three differnt tasks which may be of interest to the prospective modder. I'm thinking that the three guides (which as yet to be written) shall be:

Paradox Modders Guide No.1: FOR GREAT JUSTICE! Which will teach the modder how to revise the SkillWords(Actor) script in order to add their own text lines and cut in animations, while also introducing the various files in the script translator folder and provide some tips and tricks for making sense of their content.

Paradox Modders Guide No.2:  Cheesing the Game, In Style! Shall expose the modder to some of the obscure internal comands found in the game files, and demonstrate how those comands can be manipulated towards your own ends. Permiting one to teach any arbitrary skill to any give charictor or to give yourself any desired item.

Paradox Modders Guide No.3:  Radio's Panty Play! The final walkthrough will then teach the modder how to create, insert, and implement custom Ero Scenes into the game, as well as the various critera you can give them in game.

I'm planning to post the guides in the Tutorial Section of the site as they are completed and will announce their completion via a blog entry that I will be posting once I have something to actually show. Until that time any questions regarding the guides can be asked here, but it is my thinking that this page may serve as a larger discussion for how the the site should handle this kind of user made content.
