not from me.

Start by reading the wiki, and compiling a clean (unedited) source. Make the tutorial element to get a feel for the code, and then just read around the code and start to learn how it works a bit. When you know a bit about how it works, then you can start making your own elements.

I'm not really experienced, but I can make a decent element.
Here's a tip, it's how I learned to mod:
If you need to do something and don't know how, check other elements for the pieces of code that may do the function you want your element to do. It generally works, and you'll get a feel for how the code works. :)

Atrayin:

I've decided to take up modding, and i'm currently installing C++.

1. You are not installing C++, you are installing an IDE and a Compiler.
2. TPT is coded in C ( Even though if you can use Visual Studio C++ to compile it )

[quote=AtrayinAny Suggestions form some EXPERIENCED modders/developers?[/quote]
3. I hope you already have programming experience, because if you don't, you will have an hard time ( If you don't, I suggest you to learn at least the basics before starting modding )

LIES.

I had almost no experience when I started, yet I made a mod.

That's just my personnal experience.
I started out, I didn't really know any programming, had an hard time setting up the project, and then I could only create crappy elements.
Now, with alot more programming experience, I could make real elements easily ( In fact, I may start a mod soon )

mmm maybe buy a book on c++ coding helps you alot
