New here, not quite sure where to start

[caketastydelish]

I came to this forum after it being suggested by a friend. I want to mod the game 'battle for middle earth 2', to where it's (semi) realistic instead of being Lord of the Rings based, particularly the classical era of history (Roman Empire era).

 

The game will have the following factions:

 

1) Eastern Rome

2) Western Rome

3) Persians

4) Barbarians

5) Chinese

6) Mayans

 

I'm willing to make this mod 100% myself but I know nothing about programming and such so I don't even know where to start. I have the strengths and weaknesses of each faction deeply detailed into my head and I'm burning inside to make this a reality.

Hi, welcome.

 

What areas things do you most need help with? I'm a beginning modder for Far Cry 3 myself, but reseaching tutorials and such is how I'm teaching myself to do things. So, what would you like me to research first?

 

- skinning tutorials

- mapping tutorials

- modeling tutorials

- creating your own in game musiic tutorials

- scripting tutorials

-.lip file creation tutorials

- building tutorials

- rendering tutorials

- texturing tutorials

- voice acting tutorials

- animating a scene tutorials

OR

all or none of the above?

 

I'm quite happy to research any or all. Just let me know what you need and we'll start from there. If you have something you'd like more info on, that isn't on the list, tell me what it is and I'll research that too.

 

Cheers,

JF

Hello and welcome! I am new to this forum as well :smile:

I believe the best way to learn is through beginners tutorials on YouTube.
