tracer Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 I was wondering if evryone doing mods wanted to have a "standard config" for readme text that come in the mod zip files. And if so, what would the etandard be? for instance, would it be sorta like this? Date11/11/11 mod name Dexcription install instructions credits authors name and e-mail Or something to that effect?? All suggestions or opinions welcomed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flesh Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 I usually list the BMPs that are replaced by the mod. I also reckon it's a good idea to mention the software used to create the mod, e.g. Paintshop Pro, Photoshop, Gimp etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tracer Posted December 30, 2002 Author Share Posted December 30, 2002 so what would all the modders think if we used Gaytrek's readme format?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juju Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 I always put a little bit in my readme's that tells whether the mod is CM:BO compatible: Full (Use as is); partial (needs renumbering. Would be nice to include the correct numbers) or none Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pakfan Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 Originally posted by tracer: install instructions authors name and e-mail Hm. Most of it sounds reasonable. But I don't think that install instructions are really necessary. If people are to stupid to manage a fistful of bmp files, how are they supposed to control the armies in CMBB??? And I wouldn't put my email adress in any Readme files. It should be enough to be contacted through this forum. Otherwise people might contact you with annoying questions or wishlists...

tracer Posted December 31, 2002 Author Share Posted December 31, 2002 well it doesn't have to be work Noobie, after all we already include it in the zip. I was just wondering if a standardized readme could be used, that way all the pertinent info could be included, you know, to stop plagerism and such, and it doesn't have to be a long drawn out thing, just something standard so everyone know exactly where to look to find the info.
