Modding -- Simplest Questions
Howdy,
I'm gathering my thoughts for my first Mod forray. (Machaka: The Silent Mountain, aka Technozulu or Machaka does Ulm) I'm giving balance and theme a good deal of thought, but my questions are much more primitive then that.
Is there a recommended thread or document that explains how to get started on modding? If yes, it probaly addresses my following questions.
How do you mod? Which files to you copy? To where? How do you edit them? Is this written up somewhere?
How do units that change in game work? For instance Black Hunter Knights loose their rider and become just spiders. Could you produce other effects -- such as the old GW Pink Horror effect -- when a Pink Horror dies it is replaced with two Blue Horrors? Can units ever go back a step -- turning 2 Blue Horrors into a single Pink Horror? What about summon upon death? Or a variable summon -- zero to some people survive chariot destruction?
Is there a how to for messing with scales and other fundaments? For instance turning on an Ulmish immunity to drain or Mictalan's need for blood sacrifice.
Art is decidedly not my thing. Are there people out there willing to transform a concept description into proper sized sprites?
Thanks,
Rylen
