Also, if you want some advice and help, it would also be helpful to register on the dom3mods forum. There is also an active modding community there.

But remember that the dom3mods forum is the wild west. If you ask very stupid questions without looking in the mod manual first you are just as likely to be mocked as be helped.
IRC is also a great place if you have a quick question:

Good luck with your mod, looking forward to your results!
