Stardock will be closed for the week starting on Monday, June 29th and we will be returning on Monday, July 6th. We will be monitoring support tickets and forums during this time but expect delays in responses during this time.
Elemental Forums
I have no experience with modding but want to learn. Any recommendations on how I should start?
Get something like notepad++ and start looking at the xmls. Download some mods to see how they did things.
My best advice for beginning with elemental modding is simply "Don't be afraid to break stuff, because that will happen." I think you will find that there are several good tutorials on modding different aspects of the game, which should get you a jumping off point. Also, many good modders spend time on irc.stardock.com in the channel #elemental. Feel free to come in and ask questions, most of them don't bite too hard.
