Getting Started with Your Own Moodle
Creating a new moodle involves a few straightforward steps. First, you’ll need to prepare your moodle’s texture file, ensuring it’s a 30×30 pixel PNG with alpha transparency. Next, you’ll define the moodle’s text and descriptions within the game’s translation files. Finally, a simple script call registers your moodle and allows you to update its value dynamically through your mod’s code. The framework’s documentation provides clear examples for each stage, making the process accessible even for those new to modding Project Zomboid.
The Moodle Framework has already been utilized by numerous popular mods, demonstrating its effectiveness and versatility in enhancing the Project Zomboid experience.
