FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Hey all this is my first attempt of creating a simple moddinghelper! It includes many tips and instructions on how to start a mod and publish it. When I first started I knew nothing about modding, so I used InfinityProject's moddinghelper it was really helpful and soon I learnt how to mod. However, the moddinghelper was very confusing at first so I decided to make a new simpler moddinghelper, which new modders will be able to understand...

Instructions:
Download it. Extract it by right clicking and extract files somewhere.

Download

Features:
-Simple notes that give instructions that can be deleted after.
-Tips and hints.
-Sites you can upload images and mod.
-Comes with examples.

Post any questions here and I will try to answer them =D Good Luck!

I think this kind of "Moddinghelper" is the wrong way of teaching it to noobs. I would prefer Jeija's modding tutorial.

+0.5 Because it's the intention what counts, but I agree with Adam. This is the wrong way to teach a newbie how to create mods for Minetest.

+1.5
It is something to start with.

Yes, it's just a start =D

This is where you can find Jeija's modding tutorial:
http://sfan5.duckdns.org/minetest-moddi ... ishEN.html

...this thread is four year old.

By this point, Jeija's modding tutorial is completely obsolete. Instead, take a look at the Minetest Molding Book

Better yet, take your "I want to do X" idea, head to dev.minetest.net, and start looking stuff up. That's how I started (and playing with Luacontrollers helped a lot too).

I completely skipped the luacontrollers bit and still don't understand them...

If you want to learn nodding for this game, luacontrollers are an excellent place to begin. They use the same programming language that the mods are written in, but are simplified.

But basically, luacontrollers are a do it yourself, all purpose logic gate for mesecons. You program it to send an output signal to one or more ports whenever it receives an input signal to one or more ports. You can introduce logic, just like you would with other mesecons gates, but without as much wiring.

They do more, but that's the basic idea.
