Where Can I Ask About Modding Help

[mjmannella]

I'm looking for a a section to ask about help with a mod I'm working on. Could anyone please re-direct me there?

What type of modding are you interested in doing? 

 

You can always check out our tutorials here.

 

Also check out the designing tools here.

 

There are also several of us designers that hang out here.  So if you have any specific questions that you can't find in those links, just ask and we'll do what we can to help :D

Thank you for linking to the designated areas!

 

As to what kind of modding I'm doing, I was interested in importing the swamp terrain from the beta into the released game. In general, it was relatively successful. But there's two issues:

1. I haven't been able to figure out how to make lang for it.

2. It gets registered as coniferous forest terrain for animals, as well as when it borders fences or other swamp tiles

The terrain merge is part of the ZT .exe program and it is illegal to change that. I have played with terrains myself changing sand colour and water colours. But to do that you have to overwrite one of the  ingame terrains.

Here is a link to my attempts at this with Jay who is a programmer.

If you read further back in that topic it does say I tried with the swamp terrain.

Ah, unfortunate that it requires changing the .exe file to work. Thank you for letting me know what went wrong anyhow!
