Hello,
I'm new here trying to learn modding, i have some maybe dumb questions so i'ask forgivness from the start about it that said:

What <U>
tags <V tags C T E tags and others stand for?
Also i see lots of attributes tags like n or T and also dont understand what they stand for.

Also what are buffs,Tunnable tuple, and loots?

For python modding is there like an API reference ? Like xml has Tdesc description but for python nothing? Like how you know which objects to call or methods and the general freamwork ?

For Xml i found tdesc but the only thing i understand is that describes buffs tupples etc but not explaining how to use structure them

Thank you!

darlshaw I went through the same thing, I recommend you to read these tutorials, that's how I learned it. You should also start modding, that's the only way you can learn:

I don't know if there's any API reference for python, I think not tho.

There's a tutorial that shows how to work with the tdesc (an amazing tool).

About the I, V, U, T, E, there is a tutorial as well.

I hope this helps.❤

Alainbardelas thank you for the answer I'll try following this Tutorials, I've tried searching it before but just found basic stuff that explains how to use tools or how to make a simple modification but whitout explaining the core stuff and realised i got even more confused.
What i mean by python api if like a reference to which objects or function to point. If EA made one i couldn't find it If there isn't one how Modders do python script do they analyze ingame python files?

darlshaw I guess so? I'm not really related to python. When I have to use python I just google the interaction I want to make or investigate other modders creations. Those tutorials can help you, and they explain a lot of things, how to work with the tdesc, how to make buffs, interactions, loots... Also, the tdesc tutorials show you how to use the I, V, U, T, and E "tags".
