Nice to see that there's some interest, I will starting writing a guide soon then. As both experienced civ modders and people who haven't done any work on VP before have expressed interest, the guide would cover not only dll modding but also database modding and a general overview over the project structure, so it can be used as a starting point also for people who are new to civ modding.
I hope it's not too much more difficult compared to lua
I don't think it's much more difficult.
I tried to follow the DLL compilation guide but visual studio defeated me.
I can't really help with that, I just followed the guide to VS installation that's somewhere here on the forum. It was quite difficult to get it working, but it's so long ago that I installed it myself, I don't remember any details.
I use Visual Studio Code instead.
Hm, never worked with that. In the guide I'd stick to Visual Studio, it's the one I know and it needs to be installed anyways for compiling.
I would like to learn. I don't know if this would be feasible or not, but if you were also to make a few short basic example videos that you could upload to youtube or something
It would be nice to have videos, but I'd prefer to make a written guide. The main reason it that this way it's easier to collaborate with other devs.
I think there can be guides for adding a new column, adding a new table, and maybe conventions.
Definitely, will cover those topics.
In the next weeks I'll be busy with the 4uc integration, when that's done I'll start writing the guide.
