Help for inexperienced modders

I love the way people can group together like this and I want to help. The only problem is that I have very little experience with modding (changing stats on gear in New Vegas) and only a bit of programming in C++. That being said I was wondering what I could do to help even if it was reading through code to find something another modder is looking for or simple trial and error work to find another piece that others can work with. So if anyone could help me learn to mod or even say where you learned it form could you please comment below. If you simply need another person to read over text documents please let me know because I would love to help out.

Hey Brother, because the game uses the Unreal 3 engine (as Im sure you already know), all we really needed was a way for the game to load modified .upk files. Whether your experience is with modding textures and meshes like me, or you want to mod the dynamics of the game, it looks like you are good to go at this point. I can try to answer any questions you might have about the Unreal 3 file structure or anything related to Unreal and 3ds max, but anything on a coding level is beyond me.

We've got nothing like the G.E.C.K. you had for modding in New Vegas... In fact, we have nothing at all from the devs.

 

It's just stuff we've hacked together in the past weeks, and only recently could people start loading modified upk files. We'll see where this road leads, but it's going to be bumby as hell, so get your hemmorhoid cream ready and invest in a donut cushion seat. ;)

Reading through other posts I am getting the sense that a fair amount of people here have some sort of formal experience or training. I really do appreciate the offer for help and for now I figure just reading to get a sense on what you guys are trying to do. I know Ashryu said that you need to find a way to get the game to load modified .upk files but since I don't really know where to start with that I will try looking around the web for info and try to make myself useful...or at least pretend to and let you guys do the heavy lifting.

So I am guessing I should start reading up on tutorials for the UPK Unreal kit than. Also if I may say, Daemonjax you may be one of the greatest poets I have seen on the internet in a while.
