Topic: BOARD RULES! READ BEFORE POSTING!

[Dualnames]

RULES

DO'S

• Post on the appropriate topic for the appropriate module/plugin. However don't necropost for no good reason.
• Make sure the question is not answered anywhere on the topic. Most modules/plugins also contain demo games or some sort of documentation.

DONT'S

• Don't create different topics regarding the same module/plugin, regardless of reason. Take advantage of the search function and post appropriately.
  
• Don't ask for a missing download link of a fairly old module. Instead either go to List of Modules (download links are also provided). If it's not to be found there, PM me.
  

CREATING A NEW TOPIC

• If you have your own module/plugin that you want to place here to share with the community, feel free to do so. It is suggested that you format the topic title in the following way: <MODULE/PLUGIN:> <name> <version> - <Optional short description>

Example:  MODULE: Tween v1.5 RC 1 - A programming module

• Always remember that this board is about modules and plugins, don't ask for help about a technical problem concerning AGS. This is what the Beginners and Technical Support boards are about.
• Don't request the creation of a module/plugin here. Use the search function or browse the list of script modules, what you're looking for may already exist.
  

PUBLISHING

- Download should include at least the .scm module file & documentation if it's a module, and the .dll plugin file & documentation if it's a plugin.
- A demo game is optional, though strongly encouraged.
- Zip/Rar format is preferred
- State which version of AGS it was written for
- Finally, add your module to the list of script modules in the AGS Wiki. If it's a plugin, add it to list of plugins.

DOCUMENTATION

- Plain text (*.txt) or html file for maximum compatibility
- Same name as module/plugin
- Should contain the following:
  - Module/Plugin name
  - Module/Plugin version
  - Authors
  - Description of what module/plugin does and what it can be used for
  - Dependencies on other modules / plugins / AGS versions
  - List of all public functions and variables and how/where they are used
  - Revision history / Changelog with date
