Getting Started

The Relic Mod wiki might be a trifle hard to navigate unless you have something specific to look up. To get started modding, make sure to read the Adeptus FAQ Sticky. Then, once you know what tools you need to use (such as the Mission Editor for mapping, or the Attribute Editor to edit unit stats), check out each tools' tutorial pages below, after making sure you read the tools' readme files. There are general sections on modelling and scripting missions and www.rushessay.com too.
