How to Contribute : Metadata

Metadata are additional names given to different elements of the game, that are not present in the original game's data files.

We need metadata because:

• It makes understanding the game's scripts easier
• It helps us implement script commands better
• It's an important step towards scripts modding

How to edit metadata

1. Get a local copy of the game on your computer here is how!
2. Fire up the editor and start a game.
3. Close the editor areas you don't need (Scripts and Debug HUD):
4. Browse the scenes with the Locator area:
5. Right click an actor or zone in the Scene area to rename it:
6. Rename the element and press Enter.
7. Commit your changes on git and send us a pull request

Other metadata

You can also edit the model and animation names in the model editor. Keep a watch as we'll be adding new elements of the game to be renamed.
