I made a reply in a topic that mostly covers what you need to know so i'll copy most of that here and add a few bits.

 

For missions you will need to know coding. Check out the Mission Coding forums for more info about that.

 

For Vehicles you will need to learn modeling. There are two main programs used in Vehicle modeling 3DS Max and Zmod (Zanoza Modeler). Each require you to learn how to use and manipulate them. Check out the Vehicle forum for more info about that.

 

For weapons you again will need a modeling program although this time another program called Sketchup can be used it's basic and easy to use one of the reasons it is used for that, although it is useless for vehicles. There aren't any specific forums for weapons although the Textures & Modelling or Miscellaneous forums usually suffice.

 

For buildings you will need a modeling program there are quite a few used for buildings and each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Check out the Textures & Modelling and Maps forums for buildings.

 

For skins you will need a graphics program Adobe Photoshop is the main one used although Paint Shop Pro is another popular choice. Check out the Textures & Modelling for skinning information.

 

For new terrain/islands (maps) you will need a modeling program 3DS Max seems to be a firm favourite for this sort of modding. Check out the Maps forum for information about maps.

 

Of course to learn any aspect of modding you will need to read tutorials this forum has got a excellent selection of tutorials in the Tutorial Forum. I suggest you go there when you have decided what you would like to learn. I particuarly reccomend this topic. It is the Tutorial Archive it contains all of the tutorials posted in the tutorial forum in one easy to use format.

 

To mod it isn't required to have pc version although there aren't many people who do mod PS2 and Xbox so i'd reccomend you get PC Version.

 

Of course you should download other peoples mods they can be a very enjoyable aspect of playing the game.

i know this has nothing to do with this thread but im having problems with modeling weapons with zmod so yeti u said u can model weapons with sketchup is that true and is it easier then zmod cause i have sketchup

offtopic.

Yes it's possible and alot easier. Because the models are small there aren't the col problems that Sketchup is renound for. I take it you know how to get things form sketchup ingame? If not read the tutorials in the Tutorial Forum

offtopic.

GTA_KEITH - you said in a different topic,you were getting Sa, and you think its Sa 2.0 (most likely if your buying it @ a store). 2.0, the Second edition, cannot be modified. Not like 1.00 anyway. R* disabled most of the major modding capabilities in 2.00, so you may not be able to do much to it.

 

Dopeman - wtf? don't just come in someone else's topic and start talking about your problems, thats rude. Make your own thread, instead of hijacking someone else's conversation.

 

YeTi - don't respond to posts like dopeman's, it only encourages them.
