I am new to this idea of modding and I have an idea of what I would like to try but no clue where to begin with the actual program making part. I have done programming before, but not much in the way of building programs or add-on. My background is more in scientific computing and MATLAB/python type stuff, so this is a whole new world for me. I know the theory behind what I want to do, but don't know how to make a mod and get it implemented into KSP. To start I just want to be able to just replicate something like a mechjeb function where you burn automatically or something. Just a simple thing like a GUI button which burns for 10 seconds holding a direction. Maybe something like how to make a maneuver node too, but that's secondary. I think if I could get that far I could do the rest. This first step though is a bit daunting for me. I've looked at some mod source code like MechJeb and I'm still a bit overwhelmed trying to figure out how to start something simple. Could anyone help me figure out a few questions? 1- what language should I be using? (C#?) 2- how do I go about making an add on that could interface with KSP while running (how to go from a source file script to a button in the KSP window) I'm sorry if this is asked a lot, and if there is a tutorial please let me know. It seems that most I find either requires more background than I know, or is directed to part making. Thank you
