mentor?

[deathwolf54]

i want to make a mod however i am struggling to find any useful information about the c# code and the .json stuff or file formatting i have done searching and i can not find what i am looking for 

on top f that i do not learn the best without guidance so i have come here to have an offer


i am descent at modeling and texture work so if you help me with my problem i would help you with your problem i am not the best artist but i can make alright art not quite programmer art but not quite final art

i am unskilled at code but i did do LUA for a little bit
i have never tried my hand at animation

so thus i conclude this with the TLDR of i suck at teaching my self stuff i want a mentor who can teach/guide me about c#/.json in relation to vintage story will help out where i can for whatever you may be working on

Do you try Wiki or APIdocs?

https://apidocs.vintagestory.at/

i did read the entire modding wiki but APIdocs is new to me i will look in to this

EDIT

wow that sure is a lot of information somewhat overwhelming it will take me a while to read it all


second edit

I suggest scaping the entire modding wiki into a single text file (I did it myself previously, and have attached the file here for you) and copy paste it into Gemini 2.5 Pro with its 1 million context window. You can try it for free on https://aistudio.google.com/prompts/new_chat. The full modding wiki is only 200k tokens so it easily fits. You can then ask it questions about the best first steps, and it can give you a pretty decent toy example to get you started.

For additional context, can also copy and paste relevant content from the api docs linked above, or even from the raw source code which you can find inside links on this page: https://wiki.vintagestory.at/Modding:Decompiler.
