Several points of advice which are worth knowing:

- Planning now means less time revising, fiddling, dawdling, and wasting time later;

- Reading tutorials is never time wasted;

- If you don't know how, read the tutorial, test the result, and then go and ask - it's the only way to learn;

- 90% of the work goes into 90% of the mod; the other 10% of the mod requires another 90% of the work;

- If you can't find the bug, it's probably very, very simple, and very, very obvious;

- Label unique files with a unique modder identifier (e.g.: I start most files with "di_"); this saves you time, eases compatibility, and makes it easier to tell which mod (and by whom) any file is. Which is a huge help to people working on stuff.

That's all for now.
