Make a copy of Marble Blast Gold and download Torque Constructor if you haven't (I think there's a download in the Discord server).

The game engine (Torque Game Engine) uses a programming language called TorqueScript in .cs and .mis files. I think I learned the basics of it by looking at MBG and MBPU scripts. PQ's source code is now also available on GitHub.
In addition:
dumpConsoleClasses(); will fill the game console with a list of object classes and their methods.
Useful functions
TorqueScript and object reference (includes things not in MBG)

Texture dimensions need to be powers of two.
You can use Blender to make DTS files, exporting from 2.49b with the old exporter or a newer version of Blender with the newer exporter (there's a 2.8 branch; master is for 2.79).

Oh yeah, to change the UI you will need the .ui source code . They are also TorqueScript files but pressing F10 shows the UI editor. As with some .mis files, additional code may be before or after what the UI can edit, and the editor may remove that when you save from it.

If I recall correctly the game uses a random .ogg file in the sound folder for music, except for the menu music, which is specified in marble/client/defaults.cs and prefs.cs.
