I'm no QuakeC expert but to make a mod in it's simplest form you only need the following:

1. Quake src (to give you the necessary basic files which you will change/add to according to what you want your mod to do),
2. a text editor of some description (to make the changes to those files ),
3. something to compile the mod into a progs.dat,
4. Quake (to run and test your mod once you have written and compiled it),and perhaps the most important...
5. lots and lots of patience and imagination.

Hope this helps

Kind regards

P.S. You might want to add Bam, Slot, the mighty Zop and the equally mighty R00k's phone numbers the above list :d

ugh cant compile my maps... and i have no idea how to edit models still -.-

[Mr.Burns]

Personally, I would get used to the basics first. Then experiment further. However, A lot of mappers tend to hang out at the func message board (a link to which should be on Baker's navigator, and they might be able to point you in the right direction. ORL, who is a very accomplished mapper, is usually a good source of information if you talk to him nicely There are also some tutorials to worldcraft on the net if you look around.

As for creating your own entities.. That's a tricky one.

well, i know how to map thats easy, im just having issuses compiling. um iv figured out how to edit textures but i cant decompile the quake models so im stuck so far with only reskins... iv made a test model and got it into md2 format but quake uses mdl lol... so ugh "im actually using milkshape"

oh and if im coming off as being whiny sorry im thankful for your guy's help!

[ceriux]

sorry for double post.

I got alot of help and soulutions for my problems with mapping for quake over at Func_msgboard and im going to try them out after work. but i still havnt found a way to decompile quake models, is there a tutorial or someone who knows something that can help me out?

[Zop]

I haven't seen a compiler for models. I use some old program called qME that loads and saves .mdl files. I use it just to look at frames, rather than build models, but it seems to have that ability.

Maybe the following might help... clicky

[ceriux]

i have qme but it doesnt decompile the already compiled models.

[ceriux]

Maybe the following might help... clicky

i have qme already its an ok tool, but its not as great as an actual modeling program. honestly the best thing id use that for is skinning or reskinning because you can draw directly on the model

oh, one more question hehe, does the zombie have a melee attack? cause it doesnt look like he does.
