First off, make sure you look at the other [[Modding]] pages! They're a treasure trove of valuable information about the various systems that exist in Caves of Qud and how to work with them. | |||
You should definitely spend some time looking at how the game implements different creatures and items. This is the easiest way to learn about existing parts. If you have a good understanding of how a creature behaves in-game, you can look at how they're defined in <code>Creatures.xml</code> and intuit how the parts that have been applied to that creature affect its behavior. | |||
Personally, I also find it helpful to look at other people's mods. There's a section in the [[Modding:Overview]] page that includes links to the source code for mods that people have written; it's a valuable reference for figuring out how other people have written mods for Caves of Qud. | |||
Finally, feel free to ask for help in the Caves of Qud and Kitfox Discords! We have a steadily-growing community of modders who are all excited to help you out. :) | |||
