hello there, my name is myranos and ive been playing DoD for about 2 months now. i'm very interested in creating a few of my own mods but i don't even know where to begin. ive browsed the forum and looked at the mod wiki but for some reason i can make heads or tails of any programs needed or where to even begin. any help with being pointed in the right direction would be much appreciated. and i apologize if everything im looking for has already been answered in a previous thread and i'm just oblivious to it. thank you for any future help -myranos
I can only give you some advice, since I myself am pretty new to modding: Look at the game's files. Copy from them. Helps a lot. Use XML validators, they really help finding errors. That would be my 2 cents, the ones I can think of in this tired state, anyway.
The mod wiki gives info on how to set up the file, but you don't need a specific program. Just write the code in notepad or one of its derivatives, and save the file as <name>.xml. Hope that helps!
