You want to make an addon?
Okay.
Here's what you need to do.
1. Open a tab to google
2. Search this stuff.
-1-Blender version (2.49, 2.59 take both)-need this for modeling. 2.49 is needed for the exporter and animation, and 2.59 is for modeling your stuff.
-2-Cgtuts blender interface tutorial-watch this to use blender. Can be applied to all versions
-3-Notepad++-need this for scripting
3. Now go to the modification help section and look for the big list of tutorials once you have everything, and if you look through a few pages, you can find the general blender help thread.

Enjoy learning and figuring out how to make addons.

it depends on what type of addon.

all of them pretty much require some scripting knowledge, so start there.

OKAY YOUR FIRST ADD-ON TUTORIAL

First, open up Notepad.

Next, type in

Code: [Select]
function hello()
{
echo("hello, world");
}

Now, save that file to your desktop as server.cs

Next, open up notepad again, and type in
Quote
Title: Hello world
Author: Me

Save that to  the desktop as description.txt

Now, select server.cs, right-click it, and click "Send to Compressed (Zipped) file" and name it server_hello.

Do not add .zip, it automatically adds it.

Finally, double-click on server_hello.zip and drag in your description.txt, then install it like you would any other add-on.

Lastly, start up a game, enable your add-on, open up the console (~ button) and type in hello();

The game should print
Quote
Hello, world
in the console.

Congratz, you made an add-on.

You have to forward an email to the CIA asking them to file a weapon report. They will then authorize a clearing for your weapon, and give you a temporary model until you design the proper model for the weapon. Once done, you send in the model and they will translate it into a top secret code they have, and then give you a weapon template via email.

You then open your weapon topic and download a second copy of Blockland.

Once this is done, click on account group settings and uncheck 'default add-ons'.

Now your weapon should show up.
