THIS Forum's Rules (READ BEFORE POSTING)

[:1]Read the 'Useful Information' sticky!

As the title implies, the Useful Information Sticky has a ton of important and useful information. Please read thoroughly before posting questions.



This is not a programming class.

While we're more than happy to help with some of the intricacies of the Lua programming language, please at least read the Programming in Lua guide before asking Lua questions.



Don't PM the developers with modding questions.

This forum exists to answer modding questions and to help with solutions. Directly messaging us with modding questions is selfish. Knowledge sharing is important if our community is to thrive.



Be respectful to others.

We have a very diverse group here. Game development professionals (not just from GPG), students, and people from other industries all participate. Lets respect one another and do our best to help each other. We have modders from all over the world and not everyone speaks English natively, so please be patient and courteous to those trying.



Try to use proper punctuation and grammar.

In the spirit of keeping this professional, please make your posts easier to read by writing clearly. Not everyone is a language expert or even a native speaker but we still appreciate the effort.



Keep your sig small and discreet.

Large sigs, particularly animating ones are distracting and decrease the signal to noise ratio. If your sig is in this category I may send you a message asking you to change it. No promises on a warning though. I may just start deleting posts. This is simply an effort to keep this forum free of noise and packed with juicy modding content.



Keep your questions to devs brief.

We try to read everything but if you really want a question answered by a dev, make sure we don't have to read a paragraph or pages of code to get to the question. Get right to the point and we'll do our best to answer. See this post for more info.



Post your solutions.

When you figure something out, post your solution. This is a matter of etiquette, particularly when other people have been helping you.



Preface your post titles with the game you have questions for

Several games by GPG now use variations on the Moho Engine. In order to make it clear for everyone which engine you're talking about, please preface your forum posts with the appropriate game tags:

[FA] for Forged Alliance questions

[SC2] for Supreme Commander 2

[SC] for Supreme Commander

[DG] for Demigod
