i really want to get into mod making but i can't find anything useful to help me get started and i have almost no experience (basically none).... please help, please. (no harsh comments please i already know that i'm crap).

Start of by doing re-sprites. Then move onto editing weapons for private use. That helped me.

You can't learn more than looking at good examples of code and then editing it to see what changes.

Start small. Try to change some base.rte stuff first to see what all those variables do. Like the SMG or something. (Backup!!!)
After that try to make a gun yourself by using a template. Small steps.
Study people's code etc. See how they do stuff and learn from it.

It takes time but it's fun once you get more experienced.
