Well, is there an SDK available? To mod, you need the right tools.

SDK = Software Developers Kit

I"ve modded Doom 3 before. It has a mapping program. All you have to do is make your own renders and program it.

That's not true. Not true at all. All you need are renders you can download for the game specifically, or make your own. Usually add them to base/models folder. Program in them, and you can model your own maps too.

A mod will often have more than just new maps & models- it will have a new soundtrack & sound effects, well thought-out storyline, and plently of engine tweaks hopefully- e.g: Doom 3's avatar movement is a little too slow-paced for, say, a Mortal Kombat mod or whatever. Therefore you'd have to tweak to engine to run at a much faster pace than it's default to give the player the fast feeling of a fighting game... Poor example I know, but an example

Well most people don't know programming, or how to mod an engine. So I was trying to stay on there level !
