• Hey everyone happy Christmas Eve we're aware of what's happened with the source code so to keep this simple absolutely don't post it on the site or use it to make mods with (it's not particularly preferable toward this end anyway) and tread lightly in general until we see how this settles, thanks to all and have a great holiday season -DT

the big list of "what can ruin your mod"

Aww, then you won't like "Chaos mode" in my mod when it's done.

Hard mode: Various death-spikes in certain areas; start with 3HP, life-ups give +3 each.

Chaos Mode: Same as Hard mode; You start with 1HP, and life-ups give +1HP each. >;P

Anywho

- Giving away the Booster 2.0 without 0.8 before hand.

- (In most cases) Having the Booster 2.0 easy to get as a part of the storyline, rather than hidden.

- Neglecting to make your own credits

- Using the same music for two completly different game areas.

Having areas which can be accessed by getting hit by monsters, but shouldn't. Like Jenka's Nightmare and the Grasstown glitch in CS.

Also, if you character so happens to have to jump on 3 or more monsters with only a starting amount of hp of 3 to continue in the game.

There, fixed that for you :D

Not playtesting your mod before releasing is what causes many of the problems described here.

Grammar and spelling errors can also really ruin some dialogue, so it's good to at least spell check your writings.

Why would that ruin your mod? There are several people's mods that came before the weapon hacking FAQ got released. o.o
