Code Editing Tutorials


You've just entered the famous Code Editing section of Wolfenstein 3D Dome. The database is divided into four different groups: Basics, Advanced, Hardcore, and Specs. If you aren't the very best coder and want to include some well-known changes to your add-on, take a look at Basics section. If you're a bit experienced, hop to Advanced. And, finally, if you want to add some spicy features, and you're an expert, jump to Hardcore...

Note: the lines that represent the code are blue. This makes the tutorials more readable.
