So, i had the idea to create a sprite variants mod (kind of like potato chips have variants, since all mugs and towels and buttons etc. having the same colour gets on my nerves). I have made many sprites & in overall have taken care of the whole graphic aspect, but i am having trouble with actually modding and implementing them into the game. If you have some experience with modding, i'd love your help. Then we can publish the mod together on the Workshop! Besides basic mod structure and item implementing, it would be nice if you had knowledge of the Distributions system - i am afraid items with variants may get twice as common, and as such flood the game and break balancing. If you are interested, contact me here or via e-mail at yurinikolai00@gmail.com

Hello Modders, Mappers, Tinkerers and Players! Some of you may have seen that a few mods don't work well on Mac and Linux and you have to make manual changes to those mods to get them running on Linux. While I was making those changes, I had an idea: What if we could work collaborative on mods without the trouble of merging those changes manually and losing them once you accidentally delete the modified mod without saving it... "somewhere". Out of this situation I hade the idea of setting up a GitLab instance for everything surrounding PZ development. What is GitLab? GitLab is similiar to github.com, but hosted on ones own server. You can create git repositories, both public and private, work collaboratively on one repository or fork them, modify them in your copy and request to have changes merged back into the upstream repository. I think that this would greatly help development. What is git? What is a repository? git is a source code management tool. You can use it to keep track of changes to your code, revert back to previous version, branch your code out to test things and merge or discard those changes, work together on the same code and have the changes merged back into one repository. A repository is - basically - a directory with all the information about all changes of all files. More information is available at http://git-scm.com/ Would you use it? That is the question. Would you use a GitLab instance that is specifically set up for PZ?
