[Documentation] How to answer your own questions about the mod

Open PowerOfVoid opened this issue 9 years ago • 6 comments

Most of the stuff in the mod isn't documented at all anywhere I can find, other than in the source code itself.

My usual method of finding things is the following:

  1. Download the appropriate version of the source code
  2. Extract it
  3. Navigate to that new folder (top level
  4. grep -iR "some relevant string" *
  5. Look at the results, and figure out which ones seem most relevant
  6. Open those files
  7. Read through to figure out what's going on there
  8. Determine what I need to find next
  9. Go to 4 unless I've completely answered my question

The issue is:

  • Is there a better way?
  • Some way that is considered good should be clearly indicated somewhere.

Step 10: Put your new-found knowledge on the wiki :)

We have our own wiki?

Oh, I meant the "official" one - does mod-specific stuff not go on there?

I would assume not.

Imagine you were playing CoC official, and were trying to activate the Prison. You're doing exactly what the wiki says, but it just won't fucking trigger. Can you imagine how annoying that would be?

That makes sense; for some reason I was recalling a wiki with subheaders for "Mod Only:" to designate mod-specific features. It must have been a different game; apologies for the confusion.

For the sake of completeness of documentation and question-answering, let me just add here that the official Kitteh6660 CoC-Mod wiki can be found here, for those unaware of it: http://coc-revamp-mod.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
