What is needed to start modding?

[Hellfirejet]

Hello everyone I'm new to this game,I have been trying to upgrade WAR PLAN ORANGE art wise, over the last 12 months or so,and I'm about ready to jump in to this game, having just bought and downloaded the Supernova expansion,so how easy or hard for that matter is it to create new scenerios for this game,and what do you need to alter XML files?

Ok I have found out that it is easy to mode the XML files,adding ship art I have still to learn how but I will,plus adding new races,I will do what I done with WAR PLAN ORANGE and learn by trial and error!

Hi, Kirk, been checking this game out, thinking about getting it. Doesn't seem to be much going on out here though, I thought there would be some mods available. Good to hear you are interested in this also. I, of course, would love to see someone do a honorverse like mod for this game, but don't know how much modding is possible with this. I may go ahead and buy it now, after seeing you are maybe going to get some modding going on it. Still following your work on WPO, keep up the good work.
