Treyarch has officially released the mod tools today for Call of Duty: World at War. Along with the tools, they have provided a wiki site for all the documentation. Here's what JD had to say:
Great to see these tools out so soon after release. Let the modding and mapping begin!
I'm pleased to introduce you to the Treyarch ModTools Wiki!
At this wiki, you will find all the documentation you should need for creating custom maps and mods! We've put a great deal of work in providing such an extensive library of documentation, and are providing an entire mod with the mod tools distribution, with documentation on the wiki for every aspect of that mod.
The hope is to allow you to side-by-side recreate our mod by following the steps on the Wiki, to learn the skills necessary to go out there and make your own great games!
We hope you find this tool useful, and look forward to any suggestions you have as well as your own community made tutorials that will be posted around the 'Net (like at MODSonline.com).
Important: the tools have changed a bit from previous titles. It is crucial that you read the documentation carefully to get used to some of the new processes. You can do everything you could, and more, but may have to change your ways a little bit.

Glad they got this out so soon! We'll be seeing custom stuff in no time and the game just came out.
