Hey, I am brand new to LUA, and I was hoping this game would help me learn the basic, etc. But I can't even do stuff like make my own gun, as an example.

Anyway, are there any beginner LUA tutorials that will help with this game, and possibly some gun making tutorials? Thanks in advance...

Lua hasn't been implemented for weapon making yet.

Guns don't use Lua at the moment, its just a few variables in an .ini file. (Is there a name for that?) If you need examples, find a gun in coalition.rte, modify its variables, and see what has changed.

...

Morbo beat me to it, Oh well...

Edit: Also, this is very useful.

So, should I create a new thingy in the weapons.ini or whatever?

No, just back up Coalition.rte and edit variables. If you want make your own .rte.

Ahh, ok thanks a lot. But what does the .rte extension mean?

It just tells the game that it's a module to be loaded AFAIK. If you don't want a mod to be loaded you can just remove .rte from the name.

Ok, thanks

Yay, I made my first weapon, the Rocket Pistol

Heh, nice.
Also you will notice that once you get the hang of it, modding is very easy. (Offsets too!)

Yeah, offsetting is quite dodgey, but I am getting the hang of it. But then what's next, do I then create custom sprites to go witht eh weapons? Etc...? And furthermore, how do I get more missions for campaign?

It's lua, not LUA. It's a file tag, not an acronym.

Actually, its Lua. its capitalized. Its a noun.

Lol.

Try working with more complicated things like actors. Then learn Lua and maybe some spriting.
