Introduction

This section covers how we handle development at Legion Studios. Including things like macro usage, scripting practices, and how we organize our mods.

While this is primarily intended for our developers, we leave this public so that other modders can learn better practices and how large mods can be organized.

Rundown

Our main rules can be summarized as:

1. All global variables, including variables saved to objects; namespaces; displays; etc must be prefixed with ls_.

2. All classes not defined in a custom class must be prefixed with ls_.

   • E.g. biology classes don't need an ls_ prefix because define the ls_biologies class that they are all contained in.

3. Avoid the scheduler whenever possible. We can avoid scheduled code in 99% of cases. If you don't know that you need to run something scheduled, you probably don't have to.

4. Do not use remoteExec(Call). We use CBA events for networking to avoid issues and encourage better code.
