How to add scripts.

There are 2 types of mods possible, one is writing a Lua script, which can modify and add elements to TPT at runtime,
the other way is proper modding, it's when you obtain the source code, modify it, and compile (before modifying you have to make sure to be able to compile an unmodified version)
If you have any problems with lua, just ask me. Instructions on how to compile are available at the wiki -
I have a sort of website thing up that provides templates and help to start coding easily.
If you intend on working with Lua, you can just open that and you'll be fine.
If you intend on working with C++, > proper modding, then first follow this and then you can use this to get a kickstart. -
If you're new to modding, I advise you start with Lua scripting. I do both, but learning c++ was really hard until I learned my first language; Lua is much easier to learn than c++, even if it isn't as useful.
