On making a mod...

[iShot]

Hi all ,

For once i'll try to make it short and to the subject :

I got the tremulous source , edited the g_weapons.c and others.

Tried to compile , but it's a no - go (Gentoo) 

Looked into .qvm's , but i still don't understand :

- How do you make a game.qvm ?

- How do you edit a .qvm

- Which are the files containing weapon info in data-1.1.0.pk3  ?


Thanks in advance  ,

the qvm's are compiled with the rest of it, src/cgame/ goes to the cgame.qvm, and src/game/ goes to the game.qvm.

the qvm's are compiled with the rest of it, src/cgame/ goes to the cgame.qvm, and src/game/ goes to the game.qvm.

actually, large parts of src/game go into cgame too (bg_*) and large parts of qcommon go into all 3 qvms

[gimhael]

"Large parts" being synonymous to q_shared.c and q_math.c plus the headers they load.

For your last question: The data pk3 contains just models, textures, animations etc. if you mean weapon info like number of bullets, damage per shot, rate of fire etc. that's all in src/game/tremulous.h.

If you want to make a mod that requires no download you can only change the src/game/g_*.c files.

I recommend getting the C++ by Microsoft, install it, the download the trunk from xserverx.com, go to the file then open src\game\tremulous.h with C++ and you will be able to edit things like how much is a goon or how much to build a acid tube. You can also adjust how fast a rifle shoots. For more info like making a qvm command private message me, i check my messages everyday, or as Foe Of Eternity, he taught me. To download C++ go to the following link : www.microsoft.com/express/download .

Yeah, he could do that... If he weren't using Linux.

[Bissig]

Aha, so C++ is courtesy of Microsoft now?

And when I like to download the internet I go here?
