New to modding

[Jackbronuts]

What's up,

I'm about to go to college for a programming degree because I want to have the technical skills to develop video games. I've had almost no coding experience but was advised to try modding as a way to get into what I really want to do which is make games.

Warcraft 3 isn't a game I played a ton, but it's the kind of engine that will allow me to make a game that I would want to play. I don't know if this is how a real game developer would go about it, but it's my best guess.

I look forward to learning so much from this site, hopefully someone will take an interest in this post or others in the future and decide to give me some tips and tricks for modding.

Thanks

Sure thing Shadow, and I'll check the tutorials out first thing. I'm guessing one of the hardest things to do will be finding out where to start.

Thanks for the warm welcome, will probably be checking back in soon :J

If you're completely new to the world editor, the actual extensive coding part is a few months away for most. If you're a fast learner, then you're in luck!

I want to be a developer too ())))(

You're gonna be surprised on how much WC3 triggering will help you in your degree. I've only mastered GUI triggering but that helped a ton on my programming classes.

Welcome to hive too, bronuts.
