I want to learn how to code a half-life mod

[TaGmAn]

Ok, so lets say I have my mini-mod. How do I implement it w/o overwriting the original code?

 

[jlgx50]

lawl tagman u sux

u should stick to ur visual basic and **** ****ing script kiddie lol

leave coding mods to the big boys

you might as well go learn something *** like C#, which groovy promotes because he's a homo

A normal reply:

Actually you can't 'code' any minimod for ESF, since you will need their source code. and NO they won't release it(yet?).
BUT, you can create a minimod using 'AmxModX', this is a pluginmanager.

AmxmodX runs under Plugin manager for halflife called 'MetaMod'.

it's like this:

Half-life('Engine') --- MetaMod --> AmxModX(plugin of metamod) --> minimod(your own plugin) --- Sourcecode (ESF in this case).

What can i do with amxmodx ?
Depends on what you want, you can't create/modify models with it. but you can change the playermodel with it( WHAT?, yes change playersmodels ).
you can spawn sprites, models, sounds, and you can create client commands, server commands, and alot more.

So... go to www.amxmodx.org so you can ask for a tutorial(see the forum before you start emailing, check 'scripting help').

i hope this helped.

Good luck,

Dutchmeat

Why not just code the thing using metamod?

 

[dutchmeat]

Because AmxmodX is easier to code. especially for a newbie.

I wasnt talking about esf,its almost perfect the way it is. If i wanted to mess with esf, i woulf d/l EVM.

and jlgx50, go screw yourself, I know more about codinging at the age of 16 than you will in your entire life.

And tyvm for the civilized and informative reply dutch meat. Cleared things up. =)

so if i wanna do a mod for esf(not ecx\evm\wfs etc ,just a mod with me and my friends us in the game ) how do i do it?

i mean do you have a tut on how to do a mod cuz here i see only C++..
thx..and sorry for being a noob

 

[dutchmeat]

You can't make a mod on ESF, because it has a closed source code.
This means that you'll have to use other resources like AMXMODX (used by EVM, and other addons).
So this won't be a mod, but an addon.

 

[falcon2blue]

ok how do i do an addon then?

That's a nice tutorial, but if you want to use a normal command, for wich you don't need an adminlevel, you could use this:

/*
Hello world, v0.1
By JGHG
*/

#include <amxmod>
#include <amxmisc>

public myfunction(id,level,cid) {
client_print(0,print_center,"Hello world!!!")

return PLUGIN_HANDLED
}


public plugin_init() {
register_plugin("Hello world","0.1","jghg")
register_clcmd("amx_helloworld","myfunction")

}

Also what important is for you to know is these warnings:
"warning 217: loose indentation" are nothing more then just misplaced codes.
The difference? just a few tabs.

Um... quick off-topic u guys... call me a noob or retarded lol (gosh this is embarassing), but how do u make STRINGS?

I got the following:

char nombre[50],nombrerec[50];
int dias,dd,mm,aa;

printf("Ingrese la fecha de hoy: ");
scanf("%d/%d/%d",&dd,&mm,&aa);
flushall();
printf("Ingrese su nombre: ");
scanf("%c",&nombre[50]);
flushall();
printf("Ingrese el nombre del receptor: ");
scanf("%c",&nombrerec[50]);


It's in spanish, yes, but you can see how ****ed up my string-applying knowledge is. =/

I should've asked for this sooner because I gotta finish my work for college for TOMORROW. It's 9 pm over here and I hope u guys can help me out asap.

PLEASE reply quickly this is very urgent!!!!!!

P.S.: How do u colour text? I forgot how to, really. I mean the teacher didn't even explain it to us. =/

I've tried selecting a key-word and hitting F1, but I don't understand ****. x.x

Please help o.o

Thanks a lot in advanced ^^

 

[dutchmeat]

Here you go:
Multiple array ( can be used for random strings ):

char text[5][30] = { "String 1",   //5 is how many strings, 30 is string size.
                    "String 2",
                    "String 3",
                    "String 4",
                    "String 5" };
printf("test: %s",text[0]);

One string array:

char text[50] = "String 1"; //50 is the string size
printf("test: %s",text);

Ok, I know a lot of programming in AS2 and Java, I'm studing now for C++ just to start making a mod( or a mini mod) but I want to know where did you get the source code to do Esf(or any other model)? I mean, the HL sourcecode.

thanks
