Welcome, modders! This page is intended to be a collection of useful information for anybody who wants to create mods. If you want to simply use other people's mods, see Help:Using mods.

Getting set up


Rules

The RSTB file

The file ResourceSizeTable.product.rsizetable (referred to as the RSTB file) contains a list of size limits for almost every file in the game (calculated from the non-Yaz0-compressed file sizes). If you edit a file to make its filesize bigger, you'll need to edit this file to prevent errors. For details, see Help:Updating the RSTB.

File names and caching

The game assumes that any 2 files with the exact same filename also have the exact same contents. If you don't follow this rule when editing files, the game might load the wrong version of the file, leading to errors.
