I've not done any coding around mutliplayer stuff at all, and me and my son have recently started playing LAN deathmatch games and he's nagging me into making a Lunkin Deathmatch mod, so we can run round as Lunkin characters, in Lunkin maps.
Anyway so I'm now going to ask some simple, newbie, dumb questions:
- how do you change the maps listed, when setting up a new LAN game in the multiplayer menu, under "Episode Level" ?
- how do you change the player model?
- where does all the quakec multiplayer stuff go?
Cheers
ajay

To change the episode and maps order requires an engine change I'm afraid, since it's hardcoded. Changing the player model is exactly the same as for a single player mod. Precache, then change the animations in player.qc to find the new model, and change the model setting line in putclientinserver.
search through the code for cvar("deathmatch") since the DM code is spread throughout the code.

So if I made a mod and put my maps into a map folder, renamed as per the set maps, then played a multiplayer game from there, would it run my maps? _________________ my site

Yep, if you did that then it would, but it's an ugly solution. _________________ Apathy Now!

My very thought as I typed it So how do "proper" deathmatch mods do it? I know I'm really clueless about multiplayer modding. _________________ my site

Propper mods make you type in the console what map you want to start, and possibly use a map they name "start.bsp" with a bunch of teleporters to the various maps (as in the qmatrix mod) Or you could always download a engine of choice and hardcode your own maps to it and distribute that engine along with the mod.
*just friendly suggestions*
