Topic: Help With Modding

[UnrealED]

I'm almost totally new to modding but I want to learn.  If you could just tell me a few things to start me off it would be great.  Basic things or anything that springs to mind.  I will look around the modding forums to get some idea but could you start me off please.  Is there any software to help - is there a piece of software what you can create ships on?  Are there any other modding forums you know about?  
I'm sure you have better things to do but please help.

Thanks

There are a few things you should get before you start:

1)  Get Nucelar Wessels guide to server setup.  It helped me alot.
2)  Get the Taldren ship modders guide.  It explains the software and process for creating new models (ie: ships, stations, etc...).  It comes with the plug-ins for Milkshape / 3d Studio Max.
3)  Get the Engineering402.pdf guide.  It helps you understand the DefaultCore.txt and DefaultLoadOut.txt files for changing ship specs and adding custom ships.

You should be able to get all of these from either SFCX.org, StarfleetCommand.net, or SFC3Files.com sites.  Hope this helps.
