I'm getting sick and tired of all people who don't follow the Projects & Releases Rules and fail to provide their respective threads with vital information.
In hopes that I would get less pissed off in the future, I decided to write this tutorial that shows how should your thread look like.
Let's begin then, shall we?
First, a small note:
-I partially referenced of Alblaka's style of creating threads (simply 'cuz I find them awesome). So thanks, Alblaka
And finally, we get to the actual tutorial:
Step 1 - Title:
Please use tags ([something]), like [Mod], [Char], etc. That makes the reader know what the thread will be about.
Step 2 - Introduction (optional):
Write something like what inspired you to work on your creation, some points why should we download it, maybe a background story...
Step 3 - Description:
Basically what does your piece of work include.
Examples:
-Mod: What are the chars like, new gameplay tweaks, movelist,...
-Char: Movelist, moves description, gameplay description,...
-Background: Background attributes (animations, parallax scrolling),...
...
Step 4 - SCREENSHOTS (vital):
Probably the most important part in the thread.
You know what it is said, a picture tells you more than 1000 words...
When making screenshots, consider these:
-Make them appealing.
-Post at least 5 (even more for a mod, for a BG one is enough)
-Make sure they are clean: PNG, only LF2 screen (we don't care about your desktop),...
-Don't give links, post them directly in the thread (spoilered).
Step 5 - Download:
Upload your work on a hosting site, don't use attachments if it isn't necessary. Also make sure the hosting site is English.
Hosting sites list.
Step 6 - Credits:
If you got any help, just note their names and what they did for you.
Right, that was about it. If you use this form you will almost certainly not fail with your thread.
Don't worry, be happy, mod LF2, do your best, this is sparta,...cya
Complains and questions about the tut?
