I actually decided to write this tutorial not necessarily because I am such a great guy (which is certainly true as well), but mainly because I got tired of newbies asking the same basic questions on the official forums again and again and getting shot down for it by three other users and one moderator telling the newbie to go and read the stickies. The thing is, there may be many great tutorials around and some of them even easily accessible, but for the biggest part, a total beginner has to collect the most basic information himself. Sure, there are tutorials, but they are either too advanced for beginners which don't even know what a script and what a mod does, or they are hidden so well that about half of the time which could be used to get into editing TC is needed to actually find the tutorial. I hope it helps our new modding generation. Cheers, enenra (Disclaimer: If anything in the tutorial sounds funny or even offending it is most likely due to my not exactly flawless English which is not my native tongue. Or it could be me trying to be funny but not getting it across properly.
Being offending is not my intention - really - I'm sorry if it seems like that. Please send me a notice if you find anything that may get across like that.).

Despite that, it can be used for a broad variety of other tasks as well which makes the MD in some cases to the replacement for the SE. Programming with the MD is labelled as 'easy' by Egosoft and many Scripters. This is not entirely true.
The MD is easy in comparison to the SE, but anyone with no idea of either of them will still find programming with the MD difficult. A main difference between the SE and the MD is that there isn't a program to write MD missions. Sony Imagination Studio Suite 2. To program the MD, you need a XML-Editor. Toshiba F3507g Gps Driver on this page. And no - the notepad isn't what I call a good XML-Editor.
Modding:It would seem that modding is the easiest way to edit TC, which is, however, only partially true. The basics are easy to comprehend and the amount of changes you can do are huge with that basic knowledge. To be able to use all the advantages of modding, however, you need a broad knowledge of the workings of TC and quite some experience. Modding concentrates on editing existing objects in TC and / or adding new ones.
