jianmingyong updated How to: Create a GameMode with a new update entry:

Added compatibility with v0.52

After some changes in the game engine, this tutorial have changed a bit.

Now the basic structure of a gamemode is now updated to prevent unwanted crashes.

Also, I decided to change a little info for some section which is quite minor.

Be sure to add the new folder if you have not done so.

More updates and info is going to be added here and in the wiki soon.

.poke files are found under a GameMode's maps folder. Inside said folder should be a folder called poke. That is where all of the encounter files should go.
