Any good starter tutorials to making mods for QW?

My skill level:
Can make a qw map
Can code C/C++
Knows how the compiler works
Knows where to find QW source files
Knows what a qwprogs.dat is

Just need some simple guidance to get started and evolve from there I think or die trying

I dont know anything about that, but a mod like portal the game could be fun for some coop and singleplayer maps.

And i guess you already have something else planned, but if not. ;-)

Would love to both play and make some tricky portalmaps for qw.

*edit: i missed you post about Qonquer ;-)

Can't even figure out how to test the few things I changed, in ezQuake, nothing happens at all. Like it's not running the mod when using gamedir

Just mentioning the obvious:

http://quakewiki.org/wiki/Getting_Started_Modding
http://www.moddb.com/games/quake/tutorials

But good luck and maybe create a document for others with your findings. I can't be of any more help :/

This forum will probably help you more. The FTE client has CSQC (client side QuakeC) support for instance. I'd recommend heading over there, they are mod-happy

I would say, just think of simple things to change, and just try to do them. You got a great head start on a lot of people who have never dealt with code or map entities before

Guess you already know. But it's here for vanilla quake

https://github.com/RobSis/quake-portal-gun

Maybe it could be ported to QW

Or maybe instead of porting (portaling? lol) to QW, engineer your own version?

Look at:

- teleports
- PutClientInServer ()
- pos_save and pos_move (not QuakeC, KTX is some kind of quake 1 VM, but could give you a hint)
- How new entities like rockets are put into the world (spawn ())

Yes, but someone has to start somewhere
