I need help in coding a small mod...

Not a big one. I'm building my portefolio in the format of a map (A museum you can visit)

I know close to nothing about coding.

A few point I need :

- No menu ingame
- When launch EF, load a map directly without seeing any menu
- A trigger entitie that when triggered quit the game
- The player must start with no weapon

That's it. For showing no hub, I can always set the .cfg to do cg_draw2d 0 when starting the game.

Up to now, I only have maybe a idea of how to do the trigger_quit entitie...

In "g_trigger.c":

Code Sample

void trigger_quit( void) {        trap_Cmd_ExecuteText( EXEC_NOW, "quit\n" ); }

Someone has an idea for the other point, and maybe let me know if that trigger would work?

Your the legendary U.S.S. Speed, surely you have conenctions to great coders?

It's what happen after a beer... I mean they were just passing by.

contact meon icq 75755262 i might be able to help

If skinner cannot help you, you could ask neural link. He recently released Team Elite 2 and then should be able to give you an answer quickly.

Does this apply to me as well? I have always been devoted to the EF community since my registration here, and this is not over. I am just not a super poster addict.

I'm trying to learn C++, but EF code is everything but easy"

I would suggest you to begin C programming before C++, although opinions are gathered on this subject. C++ is less friendly to approach than C but remains fully compatible with it, which means you can use C syntax within a C++ project. Anyway, C++ mainly brought to C the concept of objects (classes, templates ...), as well as useful improvements on how to structure the code. Also, C is more didactic than C++. And this is an important point as programming can be v-e-r-y frustating sometimes.

EF code is mainly C code embedded in a C++ project, except Icarus sections. q3map is a 100% C project, with tons of unused code inside; it is very difficult to add new things in such a thing.

EF code is not complicated when you know the mechanics; it is just a complex project.

Two coding links:

* GameTutorials
* The Code Project

The second one is more advanced; but if you want to build Windows programs (with a GUI ...), then this would definitively be the best way to go.

"stvoy.exe +map yourmap" ?

That's cool... Skinner show me how to code every part needed to make the mod...

Untill I just found that I have not the softare needed to build the #### .dll...

Anyone have the possibility to do so?

You need Visual C++ here. If you don't have it, you can email me your sources (zipped) so I will be able to send you back the corresponding dlls

Well, generally before you learn C++ you should learn something like VB, then do C, then C++.
