Where do i start?

I want to make addons but have no idea whatsoever where to start.
I love blockland so much and have all these addons but i have no idea how to make them.
Please direct me/tell me how to get started.

P.S. I have been using Blender3D for about 3 years and want to know if i can make models in that.
Thx!

you need to be more specific, what kind of addon are you trying to create?

since I don't model, I mainly do client/server sided scripting
but since you do model, you'd probably be doing items/vehicles/bots/bricks

Start by using your own initiative, don't rely on others to teach you. Take a look at some add-ons similar to ones you want to make, change stuff around, see what it does, see how it works, don't release anything.

I learned by opening add-ons and reading the scripts until I got an idea how it works and little by little, you begin to learn.

[obj].dump(); will be your best friend from now on.

Well, what do you want to make? (As to, where you want to start)

Bricks?
Client mods? (GUIs)
Server mods?
Weapons?
Playertypes?
Vehicles?
Projectiles?
Sounds?

Client mods? (GUIs)

my client mods never have GUIs

i don't understand

i don't understand

Kyuande's post implied that client mods and GUIs were the same thing, even though that's probably not what he meant. So phflack was saying that they're different, his client mods never have GUIs so how could they be the same thing?

[Kyuande]

Sorry. I meant,

Client Mods
GUI client mods
