Done 15 years of production code in perl, PowerShell, TransSQL, and C#. 

Would like to try writing a mod. 

 

Searched and couldn't find an API or support forum. 

What resources are available for WoWP mod creation?

AS far as I know, the only resources are the other modders.  Kind of just have to figure things out on your own.

Hi WarGanz_87,

Here's the developer's room: https://developers.wargaming.net/

There you can choose options for WOWP

Depending on what you want to mod, there are many aspects that are used. 
Python
Adobe Flash *.SWF,which is vector graphics and ActionScript.
DirectDraw Surface,*.DDS
XML - there is a software you will need to DL to decrypt most of the XML files so that you can edit them.
MO/PO - Machine Object/Portable Object
Graphic Editing software - this is needed to modify the DDS files and many of other graphic files.

There might be more, but that is what I know for what I have done in modding.  Well not anything related to Python since, I am not well versed in Python, I can read it and understand it but to complete write a Python file to create the more complicated mods is beyond me.
