fteqcc

[Cinquero]

Is there any complete documentation for fteqcc?

Looks to me like the first thing to do with Nexuiz is to replace fteqcc .qc files with regular C/C++ code.

Or how do I use hashes in .qc files?

If you volunteer to do that rewrite, why not. Preferred target engine would be something Q3A based

Seriously, it is more than just changing the compiler - QC is far too different from C for that. One COULD however make a C++ interface that imitates how QC works (note: C++ allows operator overloading so the vector type could be made work the same as in QC) - it wouldn't be object oriented, but it would be easily possible to automatically convert QC code to that.

You can't, but what do you want to use them for?

Collecting player stats.

Collecting player stats.

And why a hash for that? You can just append them to the player entity.

If you mean loading and saving an external database with stats, forget it. QC is reinitialized every game, so variables don't persist between games. Only cvars and files do - and FRIK_FILE is only usable for flat files.

FRIK_FILE? What's that? Could one use that to store the results of the last N games in a specific map?

FRIK_FILE is the extension that adds functions like fopen() to QuakeC.

Yes, it can be used for that; no, you don't want to use it unless for small files. You don't want to store a list of all players you've ever seen with that... however, you can abuse the file system as a database. There is no "mkdir" commnand, however, when you open a file for writing, missing directory levels are automatically created.
