I've done some work on Civilization 4 and Wolfenstein: ET.

Messed around with the RULES.INI for Red Alert, Tiberian Sun, and Red Alert 2 and dabbled with making Doom levels before I entered the modding scene of Half Life. Unfortunately, the mods I worked on died. I haven't had the chance to learn Half Life 2's engine yet.

Oh yeah, I've done some work with Red Alert 2 and Tiberian Sun. Forgot about that. And I played around with Wolfenstein 3-D.

My modding abilities are sadly limited to messing with the .CON files of Duke Nukum 3D.

I did some script modding for a few Medieval Total War and Rome Total War Mods. I worked on a few of em, but only two were actually put out. :(

Hearts of Iron (1 and 2), Victoria, Europa Universalis 2. They all use the same engine and it's really easy to play around with.

Hrmmm, let me see.

Attribute editting:

1: C&C series from the 1st to Generals
2: Conquest: Frontier Wars
3: Star Wars Empire at War
4: GTA 3 VC & SA
5: Imperium Galactica 2
6: Rise of Legends
7: Total Annihilation
8: Dawn of War series
9: Nexus

There's probably more, but I forget

Attribute editting & new content

1: Fallout Tactics
2: Freelancer (mostly playable custom designed capital ships)
3: Battlefield 1942 (crude, but interesting mammoth tanks)

As above, there's probably more out there, but I don't much remember them. If I've played it, and there's tools to mod it, I've probably modded it.

I have done some Tiberian Sun modding, as well as screwed around a bit with RA2, though that didn't turn into any "serious" project.

I've played around with rules.ini in Red Alert and messed with Hearts of Iron 2 a bit.

I've modded Homeworld, Jedi Outcast, Medieval Total War, Jedi Academy, Neverwinter Nights, Homeworld2, Red Alert and probably some others I can't remember. Modding's fun. :)

I looked at the XML for Civ 4 and tried to change some civilizations. Nothing changed whenever I messed around with names and such and then the masses of text began to hurt my brain, so I stopped. That's as much modding as I've done.

If nothing happened, consider yourself lucky. Normally, bad modding make computer blow up.

Anyway, I'm making a Civ 4 Warlords mod, based on what WWII would be like if:

1) Germany still lost WWI, but retained that monarchy and Hitler didn't come to power
2) Germany fostered strong relations with the Soviet Union, so that the Soviets declared war on the Allies after they declared war on Germany
3) The Americans entered the war immediately
4) All of Europe was Allied, except for the Axis (Germany, USSR, Italy) and neutrals (Spain, Switzerland)
5) France put up something resembling a fight
