How to start making mods

[Hades]

I'd like to get into making a few mods for myself and a couple others to play with but I haven't been able to find anything on where or how to start. If anyone could point me in the direction that'd be great, Thanks

Start simple -> go from there.

Depends on the type of modding you're talking about to, would need some more insight to give advice.

Modeling/texturing and importing to ARma for example is a very different concept than say making Antistasi mod.

In Eden Scenario Terms, making a simple objective of killing a HVT then mission complete.

Start with Youtube guides and very simple scripts, as long as you achieve what you want.

Then start trying to add more complexity to it.

Now say you do the second mission.

Instead of just kill the HVT, collect the intel to reveal the position of the HVT then kill him.

Third mission?

Make the Intel spawn at a random position and the HVT spawn at a random position.

The more complexity you keep adding, you'll then be able to adapt and put that in other stuff.

I started off a year ago with no idea what I was doing, now I have full cinematics working in MP environment which is game changing.
