We figured a little treat for you preorderers was in order, so we decided to provide you a bit of the cool stuff from the modding documentations a few days early.

We have updated our Community Code of Conduct. Please read through the new rules for the forum that are an integral part of Paradox Interactive’s User Agreement.
And for those of you who preordered, here's another important file from the Modding Documentation: the Guide to (modding with) Darkest Hour!
I'll post another file in a few hours. 
What would you prefer between
DH - Mapediting - Tutorial
and
Invasion AI - How To?

Maybe you should publish a notification of this great action on the mainDH forum. I guess a lot of people would preorder the game then
Really a great service from you guys I have no idea about modding but i would prefer Invasion AI
One question: Can i learn how to generally mod DH with the Mod Documentations, even if i've never modded before?
(Sry for my bad english)

I've just registered, and have got my little DH icon, yay!!!
OH... anything at all, my great developer, sir! And thank you so very much!!!
Yes indeed, the Manual would be very nice!
By the way, I've noticed in the Guide that
there are options in the settings.cfg file.
But will the game support 1280x800 and 1366x768
resolutions???

I just tried and I could launch the game in both 1280x800 and 1360x768 (I usually use 1440x900). The launcher will automatically detect the available resolutions.
Well, to tell the truth this documentation is a bit advanced.
For a start, I suggest taking a look at this (for HOI2, then apply what you read on DH documentation): http://www.paradoxian.org/hoi2wiki/index.php/Category:Modding
Oh, good, it's like AoD, then!
If I may be permitted to ask...
The new distance calculation model in the misc.txt
apparently is set to default "0" which means the "standard"
way of things.
Near the end of the Guide, there is a section
on how to change this value to "1" and have the computer
create the new parameters, which are more realistic.
Seems most interesting, but I am not altogether sure how
to go about doing this. Thanks for any tips!
Actually you can define the resolution manually.
As long as you keep the standard ratios relatively intact you can use pretty much everything you want, as long as it is above 1024x800.
i run the game in 1888x1152
Unless you are creating your own maps chances are high you won't have to bother ever with this. All work related to this is finished for the vanilla map, the DH map, and the IC map afaik.
If you are, I can go in more details, when I open up the the mapmodding tutorial thread, tomorrow.
Oh, I see. Then the new distance calculator values
are actually the default ones! That's what I thought
from reading the dev diaries. Still, for those
who are going to use new maps, a tutorial will be great sport!
I don't really plan on it, since I am quite impressed with the DH map
as it is.

well, getting there, anyway!

Thank you, what a wonderful idea!
A map-mod guide would be widely appreciated though, it has always been my dream...
