[QUESTION] Modding How To?

[aw_hockey]

Is anybody out there willing to do a "How To Make a Mod" tutorial? From editing existing features in PA, to adding new ones, and even creating new rooms, etc.
I have a few ideas for the game i wish to add, but as i've only got a basic programming knowledge, this seems to be over my head until i get used to it

Willing to? Ofcourse!
Able to? No

Nobody knows how to mod right now, we just try and sometimes succeed. It best to download the sample mod and try to learn some features from that

That is kind of what i'm attempting to do right now, but not having much luck with it at the moment.

I'm not much of a programming genius, however i was hoping to maybe seek out some help from somebody who is was all.

Depends, if you are really good with graphics I might have an offer for you

The sample mod is great. You can see the formats and files in there. But the main.dat is also great. That´s where i got my first modding skills from. Go take a look. (Warning. Some of the things in there are features for future alphas.)

What program do I use to open the .dat file? I tried Notepad++, but that doesn't seem to work. I'm guessing it's some sort of game-specific tool.

The .dat file is a .rar archive. Use something with WinRAR to extract it (you might have to change the filename extension to get it to work).
