I want to get into modding

Recommended Posts

I am fairly new to mission/addon design and such. I was wondering how I should go about learning this stuff. Someday I want to make things like Arma 3 Life and those cool big modifications. Anyways, what path should I go down, what should I do? is there any good tutorial that can help me start off? maybe first by making a new vehicle or something? I don't know where to start or what to do. Thanks for your help!

EDIT: maybe I'm being to vague with this question. I'll rephrase. I want to make a new vehicle. How would I go about doing it? I am downloading the arma 3 Tools off steam, so that is a start. But where do I go from there?

There's so many links there, which one? Also, I meant modding with Arma 3. And this will teach me how to make a gun addon? Would you install this through steamwork shop or is this the kinda thing that woulod be a @Myaweshumgunmod

ok Do you want to Returxe things ? or do you want to make new guns ? if you want to make new guns you need to learn 3d modeling i recommend 3d max or maya. For re texture work You will want to use photoshop find somebody to teach you and that might take you a while.

Here is a massive list of tutorials on Armaholic. Some are outdated a tad, but its a good resource.

I'd start by getting the tools installed and P drive set up, and then going into the Samples_F directory under Arma 3 Tools. There's a sample car, boat, and heli in there. Try to get them to work in game. Once you do, save a copy of them, and start messing around and customizing them. Have fun.
