Click here to find this tutorial on the OpenMW documentation page

On the main documentation page, you will also find more documentation on how OpenMW works and how to best mod it. The documentation will continue to be updated and improved in the future. It is written in ReST format and is updated via GitHub. Feel free to help send your pull requests or simply tell us here if you have ideas for improvement.

Thank you, Lysol. That really helps.

This is gold and worthy of going into our documentation! Great work!

Would you be willing to re-format this into ReST and make a pull request for our documentation in OpenMW's github repo?

Sure, how do I do it? I'll google it first and then post again if I can't figure it out.

The normal process is:
create/use github account to fork openmw
you can create a new file right in the github interface, so you can go here:
https://github.com/OpenMW/openmw/tree/m ... penmw-mods
create something like older_bump_mapped_mods.rst with the information you have here, in ReST format.
modify index.rst to point to older_bump_mapped_mods.rst
this way when we go to build the documentation, it is picked up and rendered here:
https://openmw.readthedocs.io/en/master/

If you want more control and feel more like a developer then ideally you would want to git clone the openmw repo to your computer and work with your local copy until you feel that it is perfect, then commit and push up to your fork. Then open a PR (pull request) to merge your changes in.

I know that for windows there is an github application that includes git and does lots of stuff for you:
https://desktop.github.com/

First PR ever done. Hope I did it according to etiquette.

And your first comment. You're almost apart of OpenMW commit history.

Not sure if you saw this while you were looking around the repo but...
