Creating a Beginners Guide mod

Todo: Explain the mod creation process better

From what is known so far: The process is the same as The Stanley Parable mod creation except in the mod's gameinfo.txt the contents should be

"GameInfo"
{
    game        "Mod Name"
    title       "Mod Name"
    GameData	"portal2.fgd"
    gamelogo    1
 
    SupportsDX8     0
    SupportsXbox360 1
 
    FileSystem
    {
        SteamAppId				303210
        ToolsAppId				211     
 
        SearchPaths
        {
            Game                |gameinfo_path|.
            Game                beginnersguide
        }
    }
}

and The Beginners Guide contents should be linked correctly in the hammer config.


Todo:  Specify how to customize the "chapters" and how to use the dialogue system
