Nexed:How to Mod

Welcome, aspiring modder! This guide will provide everything you need to know about the modding process, which'll allow you to add characters, stages, bosses, and items to Nexed!

Now, since Nexed is a game concept as opposed to an actual game, "modding" doesn't refer to the process of modding games in this context. Rather, you'll essentially be a guest writer when you create "modded content".

How to Start Modding
In order to make a piece of modded content, you should consider creating a Miraheze account. This one's obvious, and mandatory if you want to edit the wiki directly.

What to do next depends on what you want to add. If you simply want to add an item, go to the [List of modded items] page (not yet created) and start editing! Please only edit content which you have made.

For fighters, stages, and bosses, you have two options:

Mods via Google Docs
If you don't have a Miraheze account or want to use Google Docs for your mod, that's fine. Simply create your mod in Google Docs, and be sure to follow the guidelines set in the Rules of Modding section. After you are done, make sure to make your sharing link public and add it to the [External mods] page (not yet created) beneath a header with your preferred alias on it. (If you're having trouble with this, please let Faz know.)

Mods via Wiki Pages
If you wish to have your modded content hosted on the wiki directly, you must request the page for them be created, as you cannot create pages on your own. To do this, simply contact Faz on either Discord or SmashBoards with the character/stage you want to add. However, keep in mind that the mod system is mostly trust-based. To maximize your chances of getting your concept approved, you should hang around the community for a bit and build trust.

If your concept is approved, the page for it will be created!

Rules of Modding
Now that you have a mod page ready to go, what do you do with it?

The following is a list of rules you should follow when making a modded character/stage. That's it. Those are the only rules you need to follow. Other than those, though, go crazy! Give characters more/less than 12 costumes! Give stages ludicrous amounts of music! The world is your oyster, so make your character/stage the way you want it!
 * Try to follow the standard layout for whatever content you're doing. Mild deviations are okay, but your page should more or less look similar to a normal page.
 * Clarify that your content is "modded" and not an offical page.
 * No pornographic material. This one's a big no-no.
 * If your page contains mature, non-porn related themes or topics, please consider using the Mature Content template.

Once you're finished, please let Faz know so he can add it to the official modded table!

Editing Others' Content
Keep in mind that unlike "offical" pages, modded pages will not be protected from edits. While this does mean you can edit the mods of other users, please refrain from unsolicited edits of others' work (exceptions can be made in the case of collaboration and/or spelling/grammar fixes). Failure to follow this rule may result in your account being banned from the wiki, preventing you from making any more mods, and potentially a ban from the Discord as well. Simply put, don't edit other people's stuff.

Templates
The wiki currently has two templates which mod-makers might find useful.

Under Construction
To insert this template, type  . This template is usually placed at the very top of a page.

Mature Content
To insert this template, type  , substituting "test" for any additional details. This template is usually placed at the very top of a page.

FAQs

 * A character I want to make a mod for is already in the game officially. What do I do?
 * You'll still be able to make the mod! However, the name of your page will differ from that of the character's original page - For example, if you wanted to make your own version of Mario, its respective page would be titled "Mario (Your Name)" as opposed to "Mario".
 * How do I do [x] or [y]?
 * If you aren't sure how to incorporate something on the wiki, I advise asking on the Nexed Discord or searching it up on Google. If you want a specific template added, ask!
