First You Need To Be Taught Proper Grammer Before You Learn Anything About Modding.

But there's a 1000 different aspects to making a mod.  Do you want your mod to be visual?  Or do you want to actually change how the guns play?

Go into your soldat directory (C:/soldat) and copy the contents (it will have folders with different graphics as they appear in-game)

put them into your C:/soldat/mods folder, and make another folder there (in c:/soldat/mods) titled the mod you want it to be called.  then put the copied folders into that new folder, and edit the contents of the folder as you wish.  (you could start by making guns in paint, then putting them into the interface gfx/guns folder and make them replace certain images there) 

when you have modified the contents (in the mods folder)  you then open Soldat mod starter, clicking on the mod (which will be named after the folder you made in Soldat/mods) and click 'Run soldat modded'

This is a basic overlook on how to install the graphics.  Play around with it, you will also find SFX and weapons stats are moddable, and can be played in a mod without interfering with the original Soldat files.

There's installing a mod, and then theres making a good one.  that's where you need to use your imagination, no-one can really tell you how to do it but you could start by reading some of the modding section for tutorials/tips on how to shade weapons and such.

it's all up to you how you want it to look

btw; Could You Stop Typing Like This?  it kinda gets annoying to read your posts like that, pretty please [pigtail]

We should really have a sticky about this. Is there some kindred spirit out there who wants to make a "How to Mod Soldat" tutorial for me to stick?

Ha yeah I's been a while. I'm 3/4 done with it; covered most of the aspects of modding except for sfx and interface guns. I'm trying to make it as complete as possible though so once I get all this schoolwork off my back... Unless you want to write some parts? :P

Hahahahaha, I'm sorry, but that's funny. You just need a thick, lingering British accent.
And now that I've wasted your time-  ;D

don't forget that font configurations and images in interface-gfx do not work from the mods folder
