Hi,

I'm interested in learning how to make a mod for Nexuiz in QuakeC. I saw this tutorial here which makes it sound pretty simple:

http://www.moddb.com/games/nexuiz/tutor ... uiz-part-1

That's clearly an outdated tutorial but from reading it I basically figured out some idea of how you're supposed to compile a mod for Nexuiz- I think. So I thought I'd give it a go.

I couldn't find the game dir they refer to in my Nexuiz dir, but I found a folder called qcsrc. I copied everything from that to mymod. Then, using the fteqcc that came with Nexuiz, I opened progs.src in the server folder in mymod. That loaded up loads of stuff in fteqcc, so I clicked compile. It seemed to compile properly because there were no warnings.

Then I loaded up nexuiz.exe -game mymod. When I tried to create a new multiplayer game, it wouldn't start. There was also an error message: something along the lines of "please update defaultconfig to match the quakec code".

So does anyone know what's going wrong here? It'd be great to find out because it actually seems pretty simple to edit this stuff (I've programmed C++ for a year or two so have an idea of how the code works).

Thanks.

To work around this, use the following cvars before starting a game:

cvar_check_default bypass
cvar_check_weapons bypass

Yeah, for some reason, the source files that ship with nexuiz 2.5.1 are not synced to the config file D:

The actual source snapshot is available on svn, though, but I have no idea what revision number it was :p

Go there for more recent programming intros:
