I realised recently that there was little modding ressources actually present on this forum, so I think I'll repost some of HLP's FSO modding stuff here.
I'll start with some video tutorials. Credit goes to bigchunk1. (Original wiki article.) These videos cover some basic aspects of Freespace Open modding, and will give you an idea of how the game works "behind the scenes". These videos are for new modders and will therefore NOT go into modding dark magic or advanced stuff.
