Where do I get started

[El Topo]

Hi folks,

I suppose these posts like mine pop up from time to time, so please be patient with me.

I'm a Fallout-fan for a long time now, since it first came out to be accurate. And since I'm not a big gamer or gaming-nerd, all the other Fallout-like alternatives never satisfied me. Perhaps it's because of me studying filmmaking, I always wanted to tell my version of Fallout.

Yesterday I once more thought about my own idea of a Fallout-game, and this time I was motivated to try to get this done. Maybe.

Please consider: I have virtually no idea of programming or designing anything. I'm not a computer noob, I think I can familiarize myself with most halfway intutionally designed programs, but I have no previous knowledge about programming, etc.

Where do I start? With the Fo2-Mapper? With FIFE?

Please help me, even if you are pretty much skeptical about this ever being done. I am skeptical too.

And please excuse my grammar, I am no native speaker at all...

I am not a real modder, so can't tell you exatly where to start, but here is nearly every modding tutorial ever written:

Feel free to develop you design docs on the wiki also:

TBH though mate, without programming experience you are boned unless you learn or pull a team out of your etc.

Good luck my man. I would like to see you ideas.
