[2022] Official modding documentation

A lil somethin somethin: You can find the details for this event on the announcement page here.

Hello everyone!

The summer approaches and so does our next update – stay tuned for various quality of life improvements to coincide roughly with our 3rd Steam anniversary. Before that, though, we’ve one more thing to release in connection with the previous update: the official modding documentation.

Barotrauma modding documentation Along with the modding refactor included in the Urban Expanses update, we promised more comprehensive documentation about modding Barotrauma. This documentation is released only in English to keep our workload manageable, and it is semi-automatically generated and in places quite technical. Even then, we’re hopeful many of you, particularly the more ambitious modders, will find it helpful.

In addition to the more finicky details, the new documentation includes the pre-existing Character Editor and Submarine Editor guides, and the latter has also been updated and expanded a little bit. In other words, all our official modding guides will now be found in one place: here on GitHub[regalis11.github.io].

Without further ado, take a look and let us know what you think should be added. The guide continues to be a work in progress and we’ll be happy to improve it further!
