qvm generator

[Luka38]

so im trying to make a mod, i already made a ww2 mod just making new player models and guns (didn't even make maps or textures for guns ), but i wan't to make a real mod, not just changing models. I have some basic script knowlege, i redone the g_active.c file just to change player speed. so how do i convert that to a .qvm file. I have seen that there r some generators that automaticly generate the .c file to a .qvm
so i would really appreciate ur help
btw: for u pro coders, where can i change the camera, i want to try third person view

You can run the .bat files which are included with the source code to compile the .qvm files.

For thirdperson, have a look in the cgame code, specifically in cg_view.c

ok, if i want to convert cgame.c to cgame.qvm i need to star cgame.bat
but it just creates vm folder but nothing in it. how do i make it convert it, do i need to set something or edit cgame.bat file
thanks

try running it from the command prompt and look at any error messages which may appear.

[Luka38]

this is what i get after running it in cmd, so what should i do

check out http://www.q3devel.6x.to

[corncobman]

try opening the bat file with notepad and adding to the top of it:

set PATH=path to your bin folder

eg

set PATH=C:\Quake3\code\lcc\bin

The problem is the bat files need to know where lcc.exe and other compiling programs are.

[Luka38]

now i have edited the cgame.bat file and putted the path (but the path to my bin is C:\Quake 3\lcc\bin)
and when i run it these are the files i get in the vm folder

Check at the path given in the top of your cgame.q3asm files (and edit as appropriate)

seriously, if you had checked the link I posted you would not need any questions, you would either use q3devel to compile it, or you would have found the tutorial on how to compile with the id compilers.

[Luka38]

yeah... sry... thx btw, this is a great program. i wonder why ppl on the internet always say that u should use microsoft visual c++ for q3 modding, this way is much easier.
thx again

well q3devel has no debugging features..
although funny thing is in q3 coding I never actually used debugmode

[Rawing]

I've a problem with q3devel... I've already started programming with C++, but now I'd like to use q3devel. But q3devel has its own code, which isn't changed yet... Anyone can help me how to bring my old code into q3devel?
