| == Getting Started == | | == Getting Started == |
| To get a first glimpse of what you can and can't do in NMS, you can first check this [[NMS:Current_State_of_Modding|Current State of Modding article]].<br>
| | If you want to mod NMS, reading the [[NMS:Current_State_of_Modding|Current State of Modding article]] is a good start to figure out the actual state of modding. This document is not extensive but it will already give an overview.<br> |
| Then, to be begin with NMS modding, the best thing to do is to first check out the [[NMS:Tutorials/Getting_Started|Getting Started]] tutorial.<br> | | Then, if you're ready to try editing some values, you might check out [[NMS:Tutorials/Getting_Started|The Modding Process]] tutorial to get all the first advices to extract, edit and repack files.<br> |
| You might also check out the [[NMS:Tutorials/Compiling_Mods|Compiling Mods]] page, which covers the basics of putting together your mod after you've finished adjusting all the files related to your mod.<br>
| |
| Once both done, you might have the basis to go on and create your first mod, or you can now pick one of the beginner's tutorials.
| |
|
| |
|
| All the tools necessary to follow these tutorials can be found in [[NMS:Modding_Tools|the Modding Tools page]].
| | Once done, you might have the basis to go on and create your first mod, or you can continue to explore [https://stepmodifications.org/wiki/NMS:Tutorials tutorials]. |
