Contributing to the IESDP

[Alonso]

How can I contribute to the IESDP? As I learn how to mod I discover information that is not covered in the IESDP. For example, in the conversation started here I'm discovering info about spell files and effects that doesn't seem to be covered.

We try to have peer review for every change and addition, so either post in this forum or directly submit a pull request for a change.

[Alonso]

Thanks, will do.

The latter is of course preferred.

With my level of knowledge pulling a request for a change without previously having discussed it in the forum might be counterproductive. It's very likely that my requests would be pointless because I would be mistaken about what to change or even about the need to make a change at all.

There was once discussion of creating a wiki for the IESDP.  So far this hasn't happened, but if it ever did, I believe it would be the ideal place to provide detailed descriptions and lists of caveats (and examples) for many of the aspects of the IE, especially effects/opcodes.

That started from the lack of maintenance and updates, bus factor of 1 sort of thing.

But we do get a free wiki with github now, so it'd be easier if anyone was so inclined. I'm not convinced it makes sense though, since new pages can be added to IESDP itself. It has a bunch already accessible only indirectly already.

Effect stuff already has designated places, so it doesn't make sense there at all.

Actually, I have created an Infinity Engine modding wiki already. For now it's almost empty, but I hope it becomes a useful resource over time.
