What is it in particular you want help with? If the answer is 'all of the above', you might want to narrow the scope a little. =)

Basically I'm using quake 3 as an APi inteface.....I just need help with the physics and some of the render aspects....also some weapon scripting tutotrials.. been looking at some for a while and none of them talk about modern weapons and such for reloading....I'm basically a noob....

This looks like a pretty tall order for someone who claims he's a noob.

Are you making a quake3 mod or Duke Nukem Forever.

In the case of the latter, I suggest you use a different engine, instead of trying to augment the Tech3 engine.

From the look of things you might want to target UT3's engine or Tech4 or Valve Software's source engine.

what he said. I would have used the term "insanely massive order" however.
