Contribution Guide

Shared mods in this repository may be used by many others. Strict rules are needed to not harm them:

• No modifications that change vanilla gameplay.
• Modifications that will be seen by all players (e.g. pools) have to include all translations.
• Size should be kept as small as possible. Shared mods will be repeated in every Mod that is using it.
• No modloader warnings.

If your shared mod follows different rules, is very big or only useful for a few then simply linking it in the above mods section may be the better choice.

Create a release

Make sure to update the version in modinfo.json!

All you need to do is to create a tag with the version and a v in front (e.g. v8.3). A draft release will be created for you.

Version scheme

vMAJOR.minor.path

• MAJOR: increase when there's a new mod, or a new feature in pools-and-definition.
• minor: increase when there are new pools, or other additions to existing features.
• patch: increase when fixing bugs, translations

You can do that via browser

• Go to Releases and click Draft a new release.
• Enter the new version (e.g. v8.3 under Choose a tag).
• Check Set as a pre-release to avoid the release being immediately public
• Publish and wait until GitHub creates the assets and adds them
• Publish the draft release created by GitHub

Or via console

git tag v8.3
git push --tags

And then publish the draft release created by GitHub.
