if you want to make a mod dont do it when youve been a member for 5 days. really. we all passed that stage where we dreamt of making our own mod. it takes a long time to fully understand limitations of the engine, full understanding of entities, scripting and many other skills. as for coding it will definetly take a long time to learn. as in a few years. modelling is another trickyone where you need alot of practise. i wouldnt try making a mod yet. ive been here almost a year and i still wouldnt be albe to make a full mod. mods on this scale would also need a full team, and not just 1 man doing everything.
