Well, you guys can obviously see I'm off the ground and modding- been here a couple of months now. But this is the problem. A few people want to help me with my TC, but they don't have a shread of experience. Some don't even have the game *bangs head on keyboard*!

How can I get the people with the game started?

And how can I get the people without the game (...) started?

Thanks already.

Well, without ehrm, let them buy YR and give them your RA2 CD

With, learn them just the same way you started. Help making new units from the basics. Dont give them assignments yet. First people have to master the basics

[premier89]

I can't remember how I started . What would you guys define as the basics?

[Daedalus]

Adding new weapons/units. Keeping them smple. No art just plain rules.
Combine some units, etc etc

[premier89]

Okay... hopefully they'll understand.

BTW, do you guys want to see part of the prologue I wrote for my mod? I'm out for plot flaws!

Hey I'm wondering ...As this topic is a perfict exsample of me...Could someone write this in a REAL tutorial for absolute new people. I've read the curent ones and they are just confusing...New people like me don't understand that lots of files are placed inside the .MIX and that specal tools are needed to mess with them. This back to basics aproch is a great ideal but if it could be writen it would be great for recruitment.

[Daedalus]

Never start with messing in the mixfiles.
Start with rules and simple tags. You cant really write a tutorial about it because the starting on Modding is something you have to discover to get a advanced modder

Give the G.I. a nuke-weapon. Best start ever. Period.

How to add a new tank

List and exaplanation of hardcoded stuff

Check those, I wrote them and they should be easy enough to be understood. If you have any questions, bug me with PMs.

Just teach them how to make a super-nuke-chrono-monkey. That would teach how to use most of the unit tags. And its fun.
