Setting Up the ToDo list

Modding a survivor might be a single texture file change, or it might be a long list of sound file changes. Either way, having a list of tasks that need completing can help prevent you from being overwhelmed and prevent forgetting something you thought of while in the middle of editing.

Here is an example from one of my ToDo lists:

- Fix abnormal animations in All_ZoeyBikiniGear mod. / Fix the Coach shotgun reload anims. - Fix the Louis shotgun reload anims. * Check the other survivors' anims.

Note that it is simple text. I edit it in Notepad++. I use a dash "-" to indicate a task to complete. I use a slash "/" to indicate a completed task (a slash is closest simple character to a checkmark). I use the asterisk "*" to indicate a note or a task that should be split later into smaller sub-tasks.

Create the ToDo text file:

• • Open Notepad++.

  • Click File > New in the menu.

  • Click File > Save As... in the menu.

  • Go to the Setup folder.

  • Set the File name to: ToDo

  • Click Save button.
