I've decided to dive into Blender...
...I'm at ground zero, so I need to learn the program, and then also figure out Unity a bit. After I've familiarized myself with them, have done tutorials, and all that good stuff, are there any tips/tricks of the trade that are specific to CMS18? I've read several of the pages in the 'Modders Q&A,' and the PDF included in the game files, to get an idea on what I need to do, but there are several dozen pages I haven't gone through yet in the Q&A thread. Is that the go-to source for all the reference material I need?

@Fulysic, I saw that you posted a bunch of tutorials, and that's great reference material right off the bat. Are they still pretty much up-to-date four years later?

After building a couple dozen or so configs in the editor, I need more!

Is CMS18 a good place to start, or should I wait for '21? How different was the modding experience between '15 and '18?

Thanks in advance, y'all, for any additional info. It'll probably be several months at the very least before I can do anything worth a shnit, but I'm ready for the challenge.

Much love, and cheers. ;)

One more question: Will the Personal Edition of Unity suffice? I'm as green as it gets with this stuff. Thanks again.

1 the guide is still pretty good, not much has changed in the 4 years apart from tuning parts
2 yea you can start with 18, we heard porting the mods will not be hard, so it will probably be very similar.
3 there was no modding in cms15

@ K 3 Is Unity Personal all I need? Can't beat free.

I forget which version you want but, I know you don't want the latest version of Unity....an couple version's back has been said to work better. Not sure about the one you mention.

I saw that Golly posted the version the devs recommend.

That's probably your issue, devs recommend 5.6.4f1. I've personally had quite a few issues with newer versions

Thanks, Mardoin, for the info. Any and all info is appreciated. ;)

Welp... I started to dive into Blender and Unity, and I realized that I just don't have the time to get involved in their complexity. (I also don't have the best short-term memory these days.) Maybe down the road. I'm gonna stay in my lane with the in-house editor to build configs, and leave the modding to all you pros in the HOV. ;) I still have a lot of fun in the editor. Thanks, though, for the feedback. Much love.
