hi guys, i wrote this in another topic on another forum but i thought maybe it would be better to copy and paste it and show it to the coders in the main coding forum, so here it is: Yeah, thats the only problem though, because i myself am new to coding but im reading up on Quake C and trying to digest it slowly, but when you see code being churned out, I find it hard at times to grasp where people get what parts to put where to make certain things happen. Also if possible, could somebody set up a glossary for Quake C and a beginners turtorial with full explaining of what each part of code has an effect on what area and the concept of creating a model then making it come to life with code from our animations, but im guessing what i said is probably easier said than done so im gonna button it.
(Just a suggestion thats all)
can anything of what i mentioned in there be made possible for noobs like myself, because i checked out some of the tuorials and they still make me feel like i just dont get it, i mean i start to and then i get confused!!!! AAAHHHHH

I did a couple of tutorials for new qc coders for Nexuiz. They're definately worth reading even if you want to code for quake, as the principles are the same, even if the tutorials themselves can't be used... http://elf.planetquake.gamespy.com/tut1.htm

Rodinius - In case youre not familiar with Nexuiz ( www.nexuiz.com ) it is a free deathmatch game using the DarkPlaces Quake engine and is standalone. It does not require Quake to play and as MauveBib has illustrated, uses qc for the game logic. I assume they use md3 for their models however. Nonetheless, it is a place to toy with qc if you dont own Quake still.

md3 for all static models (weapons, ammo pickups and whatnot) but zym for all characters. _________________ Look out for Twigboy

Here's a great newbie tutorial by lordhavoc: http://www.inside3d.com/showtutorial.php?id=194 I'd also recommend the AI Cafe Tutorials over at: http://minion.planetquake.gamespy.com/tutorial/main.htm They are excellent tutorials, well written and actually teach rather than just plug in new features. I learnt a lot from them.
