You could start by getting to grips with the layout of the XML documents in the core folder under mods. That way you can see how code is referenced, and jiggle numbers and tags around to get basic desired results.
i see i'll start right away :)
And me on Skype. I'll help you learn in spare time :)

anything at all, just make sure you save it as a png :P
how bout walls how can you make the texture for it ? is there a proper way of making one?
Link (http://rimworldgame.com/publicArtSource/ThingGraphics.zip) to game art assets.
ThingGraphics\Things\Building\Linked\WallMetal_Atlas.psd here you got the wall texture.
.psd is a phothop format, but you can open it with gimp or paint.net, you only need to download the plugin.
i see thank you :))

If you want some help I would be happy to lend a hand. You are welcome to send me a message when ever you want.
I will ask, what is it you are looking to do?
My suggestion to you is to start by downloading Notepad++ for coding. It is a great way to work on multiple files at the same time with ease and it colours certain types of code so that you can differentiate. linked here:

To get you started I would suggest you look at the BlastingCharges mod and get an idea of the structure of the mod, try recreating it then slowly modifying it and seeing in game what it is you have changed. The best way to learn is by doing

Do you know a alternate program that could work with mac?
The best for Mac is-
Ebay, selling Mac to upgrade to a PC
I see this all the time, people tell me "go sell your mac, get a PC". Well I wont see l my mac because I don't want to learn a new opporating system and if you didn't know any program why did you reply?
Sorry for causing offense, I really only meant it as a joke..but after re reading it I see I came across as rude.
My apologies
So a89a89, I did some digging for a program similar to Notepad++ that would run on the mac OS and this is what I came up with for you:
http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/
It is a free application that you can use and by the looks of it and from what I have read it is exactly what you would want.
Direct download link from the site:
http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/download.html
Let me know what you think of the app as I am unable to actually run it myself and I have never personally used it. If it is good I would like to know so that I can recommend it to others.
Enjoy :D

I have heard good things about Sublime

I really think this discussion is going off-topic (well, it never had a valuable topic) and should be renamed.
