Hey, I'm starting work on my own new mod, and was wondering if there was anywhere I could look for a tutorial or FAQ thread about what, exactly, are the limits or basics of modding?  I don't know much about it yet, and would rather not spam this forum with stupid newb questions that have been answered a thousand times already if there's somewhere to reference.

In the event there isn't, how should I go about spamming this forum with my stupid newb questions in a way that won't irritate the bejesus out of potential helpful people?

This is the best you're going to get:

It's for the previous version, but I'm pretty sure most everything is the same.  For help on specific things, it's advisable to try the search function, too.  If you can't figure it out at all from those two things, then post away.  Good luck!
