<h2>Introduction</h2><p>This page has been split up into three sections. The first highlights some key tools that can help a budding modder get started. The second section lists resources provided by Egosoft. The third section begins to highlight things that the community has considered over time.</p><p>As with other wiki pages, please feel free to edit it in order to add new and/or improved information (the third section in particular will benefit from this). If over time any of the tools/information below stops working in some way, please make a comment in the related thread to help spread the word.</p><h2>Great places to start dabbling with modding</h2><ul><li>Index of Rebirth Tools, Tutorials and Resources (<a href="http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=376579">link</a>).<ul><li style="list-style-type: none;background-image: none;"><ul><li><span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);">Modding Tools</span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);"><span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);">Modding Tutorials and Guides</span></span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);"><span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);"><span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);"><span>Resources</span></span><span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);"> </span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);"><span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);"><span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);"><br /></span></span></span></li></ul></li></ul></li><li>theqmann's XML Patch Guide (<a href="http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=354310">link</a>).</li><li><span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);">The XRCatTool (one of the Official Rebirth tools - see below).</span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);">Guide to the Steam Workshop for X Rebirth (<a href="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=245117855">link</a>).</span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);">Steps to make your mod work on Linux+Mac (<a href="http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=380912">link</a>).</span></li></ul><h2>Egosoft resources</h2><ul><li>Egosoft's modding-related changelogs are <a href="http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=366346">here</a>.</li><li>Official Rebirth tools are <a href="http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=363625">here</a> and can be discussed <a href="http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=357464">here</a>.</li><li>The JIRA-based Bug Tracker is <a href="http://www.egosoft.com:8282/jira/plugins/servlet/mobile#filter/jql/project%20%3D%20XRUIMOD%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20DESC">here</a>.</li><li><span style="font-size: 14.0px;line-height: 1.42857;">linolafett's info about art and sound production is </span><a href="http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=372519" style="font-size: 14.0px;line-height: 1.42857;">here</a><span style="font-size: 14.0px;line-height: 1.42857;">.</span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(0,51,102);line-height: 1.42857;">T</span><span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);line-height: 1.42857;"><span style="color: rgb(0,51,102);">hread for reporting bugs encountered during mod development is</span> </span><a href="http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=384272" style="line-height: 1.42857;">here</a><span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);line-height: 1.42857;">.</span></li><li>UI modding support thread is <a href="http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=377587" style="line-height: 1.42857;">here</a> (e.g. for asking questions or reporting bugs) and the UI bugtracker is <a href="http://www.egosoft.com:8282/jira/browse/XRUIMOD" style="line-height: 1.42857;">here</a> (in case you'd like to log a new issue).
