Adding new weapons into the engine...

[DusterdooSmock]

How does the engine know what all of the IT_WEAPONS are? Does it just read the defs in the qc, or are they hardcoded into the engine somehow? If they're in the engine, would you mind showing me how to add new ones? As well as adding other new stats that are similar to the health...

The weapon definitions in the QuakeC and the engine have to match. The short version is that you should re-define the weapon constants for your mod in both the engine and the QuakeC to match.

Files you should be looking at:

Engine: quakedef.h, sbar.c (cl_sbar.c in ProQuake PSP) ... examples http://bladebattles.com/kurok/SVN/quakedef.h and http://bladebattles.com/kurok/SVN/sbar.c
QuakeC: defs.qc ... (I think, I'm not as quick with QuakeC recall as engine) like http://inside3d.com/browse.php?show=defs.qc

Look for stuff like this:

Code: Select all

It's easy Duster
In your QC, if you have a weapon, like..

Code: Select all

float IT_SMASHER = 8388608;

Then you would go into your engine code and Put...

Code: Select all

#define IT_SMASHER 8388608

And wala. Then if you'd like to use it in the engine you go...

i

Code: Select all

f (cl.stats[STAT_WEAPON] == IT_SMASHER)
dostuff;

Got it. Thanks guys.
