ahhhh got it and why do you need to tabb?

In the lua script, or in the ini code?

both and whats the ini code I know what it is im just not fully informed...gahh im ignorant.

The ini code, you know, AddActor = AHuman, where you code the actors, guns, the basic stuff.

Well, tabbing in the ini code is completely necessary, but in the lua script, it's not. However, tabbing in the lua script is good because it helps you to keep order, easier reading and less syntax errors.

I wouldn't like to cover the ini part, since that shouldn't be hard at all, and there are like ten billions of tutorials out there, but if you want me to, I'll explain the basics of it.

your far far far more experienced then me and your ALSO wasting your freetime on me...sooo I think its fair to say your call

No really, if you want I can explain you both, it's not a problem. I'd prefer to teach you completely that have you half taught.

whatever you think

Ok so, tabbing.
You can use the tab button, or use 4 spaces, but spaces tend to be messy, so use tabs.

In the ini file:


Note how in here we used up to 3 tabs.


When you define an object, it'll look like that. Now, tabbing should be placed when a new property for something will be added, for example:



So, if we take a look to the previous defined particle, we will look at it's tabbing:



Here I'll attach an old text file I made for a dude which explains most variables for making weapons.


**Note, there is a small error in the file!! Color can only go from 0 to 255, not 256!!**


Take a look at this, with this post you have more than enough information to mod your first, simple weapon. When you feel confident enough with this simple ini coding, we can continue with lua scripting.

how can I mod I only know how to tab and to change notepad to .Lua

Wait, so you don't actually know anything? At all?
Geez...

Well, with the previous I went through most basic stuff, I just got to explain how to do your mod folder and set an index.ini.

lmao :')

and okay we can start with that

do what?.

Ok so, to begin with, the most basic but necessary thing, is your mod folder.

Create a folder, and name it how you want. For example, "MyMod", "MyFirstWeapon", etc.

But creating a folder in the cortex command directory won't do anything, right? That's right, because it must have at the end of the folder's name ".rte". So, change the name of your folder to "MyMod.rte", and cortex command will read it.

Open up your "MyMod.rte" folder. It's empty. Depressing, isn't it? Well now, let's begin filling it up!

Create a text file and name it "Index", and change it's extension from .txt to .ini. Open it up now.
Now, the FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO DO WITH THAT INDEX FILE IS WRITING DataModule ON THE FIRST LINE! Not writing it is the most common mistake.

As we are defining the DataModule, everything that comes next is a property of it, so, we are going to use tabs in here.
One of the first properties we add on the DataModule is the ModuleName, in other words, the name of your faction, weapon pack, etc.
Then, you add the property IncludeFile to the DataModule. This are the files that will be loaded when cortex command reads your Index.ini.

A regular index looks like this:



Now, let's suppose you create a mod that is for a pistol. Your folder will be named "MyDesertEagle.rte".
Inside it, you'll have two things: your index.ini, and another folder which is named "Devices". Inside devices you have everything related to the desert eagle, let's say, sprites, the Desert Eagle's ini file, sounds, etc.
(Note that you can arrange your mod folder as you like, you can add as much folders as you want, as long as you put the filepaths correctly)

Your Index should look like:


Note that it's not necessary to add a module icon, you can delete those lines if you want.

Now, in DesertEagle.ini you'll have your weapon defined. You can use the file I attached on the previous post to help yourself creating your weapon.

EDIT:

Oh, Non, if you won't have patience to teach a new guy just don't spam the thread. Please.
=D

If you don't know how to, I doubt you will do it.

I'm just teaching the basics bud, everyone had to start somewhere. I still remember spamming the ♥♥♥♥ out of a thread dragonxp made to create my first actor, so let this newbie spam the ♥♥♥♥ out of this one just as I did.

Thanks man bless you and btw your nike joke I forgot nike was american so I didnt connect the 2
