Getting started
During your work on adding new content to DestinationSol, you might encounter few common issues. On this page, we would like to try to provide you with some resources you might find helpful in resolving those issues.
If you are planning on adding new ships/weapons/factions into DestinationSol, most of the time,, you will be dealing with JSON. If you have never worked with JSON/you don't know what JSON is, we HIGLY suggest you to look through the JSON Tutorial before continuing to explore this wiki. If you have, however, worked with JSON before, you might consider looking through the following links to freshen your skills a bit if you feel the need.

JSON resource 2

If you are planning on adding new content to DestSol, you will most probably need to add some graphics. Please, when looking for graphics, keep in mind few simple things:
- Always use only graphics you are licensed to use this way
- Check that the graphics style fits into the game overalls style
- Check that your graphics isn't used in the game already
- Always include a link to the original author of the graphics
Ideal, of course, would be to create your own graphics and release it for the use in this game under appropriate license :)
If you are planning on going this way, for the drawing, please use only software you are licensed to use, e.g. free software or software you own copy of for commercial use. If you are looking for free raster graphics editors, take a look at these:
When working on DestinationSol, you might encounter the need for adding new sound effects/music. Again, the same as with graphics, check for these few things first:
- Always use only sounds you are licensed to use this way
- Check that your sound isn't present in the game already
- Always include a link to the original author of the sound
Ideal, of course, would be to create or record your own sounds and release them for the use in this game under appropriate license :)
If you are planning on going this way, for the recording, please use only software you are licensed to use, e.g. free software or software you own copy of for commercial use. If you are looking for free sound recorders/editors or sites to take your sounds from, take a look at these:
