This is a strange topic, but I was wondering how many people know how to use coding for games to make things such as new weapons, maps, change player skins, and other code related material.

I know how, but what about you guys?

nope...wouldn't have a clue... though I've only tried to program for Basic

 

[technoman2]

I coded for a mini MOD for Desert Combat in a BF1942 tourny.

i wouldn't even know where to start maybe you should create a tutorial and we could all bask in your knowledge. lol. I tried basic but quit..haha. I'm not even gonna say if i have a brain. lol

LOL.. modding is mostly replacing names with other names and deleting certain code. The example isn't the best, because I can't remember the exact code, but it's something like this.

I use coding from other weapon and change values. For instance I had a MP5 and wanted it to change to AK-47 and then set the ammo station to give me the correct ammo.
This is what is would look like in my station file:

ctn-"ammostation"userweapon,MP5,MP5ammo,";

I then change it to:
ctn-"ammostation"userweapon,ak47,ak47ammo,";

and viola... the ammo station gives me the ak47 ammo and I'm ready to mow down other people.
