What do you want to mod?
Mapping, sounds, voicechats, graphics, textures, skins, player- or weapon-modells, gameplay … ?

Skins & graphics: grab yourself a good photo editing program and search around to know where the game’s images are. Then learn to package your modified images and use a good name. (Search again for more info.)
Gameplay: two options:

  • The first one needs C coding. Even if you know C/C++, it takes some “wetwork” to get used to such a big lump of code. I sugest to skim trough some Q3 programming tutorials first, quite some pieces are still applicable.
  • A second option could be to make an ETPro micro-mod. (Normally called LUA-mod, see Lua Mod API) It is limited, but it could still change some aspects of the server and thus the gameplay.

And last but not least: modding takes time and dedication. You might need to read/learn a lot, but be persistant and you’ll get there.
