Default Re: Modding -- Simplest Questions

The absolute best thing is to grab one and look at it.
There is a .dm file which is plain text. Open a game with the mod, then look at the commands in the .dm file; and you should be able to see how easy it is to get started. There is also usually a subdirectory for the mod. The .dm file says if there is one and what its called. There are image files there which are .tga format but only if your mod needs to create new units.

If you check that out then you will have specific questions which are much easier to tackle.
