I've gotten a modding tutorial mostly complete on the wiki here.

Tutorial
Coding Section

It's focused mostly on modding for a custom release. Soon-ish, I'll get a version up which specifically outlines modding for the Community Wad. For coding, however, there's not much of a difference, so that section will be the same for both versions. The entire thing is more or less done, coding section and all.

There's also a new Google Sheets spreadsheet listing out all of the possible XML tags with their possible (or required) attributes, where they can go, notes, and examples of how to use them. At some point, I'll do the same for functions.

If you already know how to mod, I'd really appreciate another pair of eyes or three to look it over and correct any errors. For both new users and veterans, changing it so it's more understandable would be great (or for new users who are obviously less likely to know how to make it more understandable, just ask questions about things that are confusing).

It's not yet exhaustive, but I'm hoping it can improve over time.

I've updated the wiki. It's gotten cleaned up a little bit, but more importantly, two new pages are complete.
https://www.slightlymagic.net/wiki/DotP ... rrogations
https://www.slightlymagic.net/wiki/DotP ... aning_Code

The second one needs cleaned up a little (now that's some irony), and it also needs added to a bit.

Is there anything else that should be added? Anyone want to learn how to do something? Do you remember learning to do something that would have been easire with a guide?
