In the mod wizzard there is the option:
Lock to current NS2 Build Version (267)

Is this recommended or not? And is it hard to change later? I just started modding :)

    It's just another mod.settings value. So not hard to add, edit or change it later.

    Basically this will lock your code to a given ns2 builds gamecode. That means the given gamecode luas get mounted before your mod.

    I only recommand to use it if you code some kind of new gamemode. As this can cause issue with other mods and also will basically never get your mod updated with the last ns2 patches.

    Also you don't lock the engine, so changes at that can still break your mod. This should mostly never happen but doesn't mean it can't happen ;)
