Here's some things I already know how to do:(All of this learned by trial, error, exception storms, and educated guessing.)
Adding New Fighter Squadrons: Adjusting parameters, Using different Icons, Adjusting Squad #s, Adjusting Offsets
Giving Heros Unique Space/Land units: Example, Mara Jade(Mod) has a Eta2 as a space unit. Land codes for units have been tested but I still haven't had a successful test, partly because I tried to test two changes at the same time. FAIL
Master Text File: *sigh* It's the easiest part of modding PERIOD, yet it's so hard with the regular DAT editor, so I got the String editor instead.
Parameters: Of course anyone with alittle bordem and time can start messing with parameters: Speed, Turn, Accel, , Powers, etc.
Company Units: Just like squadrons, changing data for ground companies and hero companies, also adding or changing escorts.
Factions: Adjusting random lines of interest, retreat time, colors, and browsing sound effects.
Buildables/Garrisons: Messing wiht building garrisons, and the units that can be built there.
And here's a list of horribly embarrassing failures:
Angermanagement: FAIL
Changing Thrawn's SD to a regular one: FAIL (Really? Yeah really.)
Adding New Empire Hero Unit, General Rom Mohc and keeping him attached to the Arc Hammer, + ground AT-ST: FAIL
Adding General Grievous, & Magnaguards, & Delta Squad to existing mod, including all associated files without overwriting existing XML files: FAIL
Creating a Sith Hero using KoTOR models(Couldn't aquire): FAIL
Using the Tacticle Planet explode 300x particle for SSDs, lvl Space Stations, Super Laser detonate particle: FAIL
Minimum of only one exception per week: FAIL
So... I'm not a beginner but this is how hard it is when you have to figure out EVERYTHING by yourself. I'm hoping I can get some real help here. I look at tutorials when I can find them but nothing ever addresses MY coding problems. Hoping to turn those fails into successess
