Supplementary documentation here on our Wiki:
- Replication – a supplement to the UDN "Networking & Replication" page, including some common traps you might fall into, and hopefully clarifying some things that might not make sense on the first read of the UDN documentation.

- Kismet – explains some things about Kismet from a programmer's point-of-view
If you'd like to see an example of a Chivalry mod, check out:
- NabsterHax' example mod on the forums
- Chivalry Medieval Warfare: TK Punishment Mod uses .uci files to reduce code duplication when extending from Chivalry classes
- The Swords & Jetpacks example mod on GitHub
