ahh... welcome to gametoast... first off, you need the mod tools and I highly recommend bf builder pro... the links to them are on the home page... coding and etc you will learn after you have the mod tools

yeah - and you should get Xfire to communicate with other modders :D and players :roll:

anyways, I'd suggest you try to get the BFBuilder - and that's BFBuilder PRO as Delta Said :wink: it contains ALL the files there's in thte game - and also a few who hasnt been used :wink:

you can do several things to mod:
Mapping is the most common - you create and build Maps
you can also try Modelling - I started, and if you have some 3D program experience, you could try this too - but its hard.
and there's also another way to mod: change the files, so they 'act' different in the game: like this: changing the .odf files on a soldier, so he runs twice as fast or something :wink:

its hard in the beginning, but when you learn it, you can do almost EVERYTHING :P

Also in the BFBuilder that u told me to download some of the files i dont have a program to open it with do all the files in the BFBuilder mod should be like this or they have to be opened cause if they do what program that i have to open it with? Also everytime i go to the BFBuilder screen and start the program every 5 min it crashes and i have to close out of it then go on it again can u prevent this.
