How could I make a weapon?

[AnArKiSt]

I am an amatuer programmer who is interested in Nexuiz and would like to know how to develop a weapon and provide it to the Nexuiz community. I have never programmed Nexuiz before, so I'm wondering what language(s), compilers, and documentation I'll be needing to get started as well. Any attempt to enlighten me would be appreciated much.

Language is quake C, it's similar to perl or C.
The way to make a gun is to make the model and then edit a weapons file in qcsrc/server
you code your weapon in.

That should be enough for a start, as i'm not a modeler i hope someone else also responds..
