hi everyone i am very new to modding so i was wondering if anyone had a modding challage that a begginner could do?

thanks
p.s. it might take me a little while but i will try my best to do whatever challenge

new icons for the belts and rings would be nice.
you can try google for images then crop, make alphas then code them.
dont need any stats, just new icons would work.

have fun.

i dont really know what you mean by make alphas then code them. srry about that but like i said i am really new to modding. so maybe ill try a different challenge srry.

Perhaps you should look at some of the tutorials in the Modding Discussion and Support forum before attempting to mod. Especially if you don't know what alpha images are.

i just look at some of the tutorials and i understand what the alpha is and everything, so any new challenges that a beginner modder could do?

Start with the challenge in Zeeman's Tutorial 101 and move on from there.

i already did that challenge and it didn't take me very long only about 5 to 10 min

Well, then go for Heron's challenge. Much of modding involves editing graphics. As far as I can tell, Heron is the most experienced and most prolific modder currently on the forums. If he thinks that working with creating new icons is a good start, that is probably the best place to start.

umm, if heron says do it, DO IT!! this is the number one thing that has gotten me as far as I am. heron is by far the most experienced modder currently on these forums, and he knows what is best for you to do.

that tutorial is for fate undiscovered realms i only have the original fate.

thanks for the kind words fellas, lol.

if this project is too overwhelming maybe you can try something more simpler like re-color a monster's skin.

all you need to do is use a paint program like mspaint and edit the monster's png file to another color.

then use the code <material_overrided>:path to png/path to alpha/path to reflection/NONE/NONE/NONE

inside the monsters.dat

good luck!
