Author Topic: How to make Add-ons  (Read 999 times)

Hello. I would like to try add-ons. I think you need Blender. What else? Could anyone please give me the link to everything I need, like tutorial, maybe a place I could get sounds...(maybe)....and also Blender and....milk shape 3D, right? Yeah. So....yeah. Everything else, I'll try, if I fail on my first try, I'll try a few more times, then I'm starting either maps or decals. Decals seem easiest..... :cookieMonster: So....yup. Links plz?

That was just stupid. It was a joke, but stupid. Lol I should of not put that XD

Play around with the scripts for awhile.  Start changing the numbers around and looking at other scripts to compare.

Modeling:

Blender - Free, but complex to use at first glance
Milkshape 3D - User friendly, but costs money

(There are many more great programs out there, but I suggest one of these)


Scripting:

Notepad - If you're not on a computer running Windows then just use any text editor


Making decals / textures


paint.net - (google it) free and simple to use, similar to Photoshop
Photoshop CS3/4 - costs money but it's a very nice program
Adobe Illustrator - costs money, used for creating vector (geometrical) art



I hope I could help.

Got any scripting tutorials? because i haven't the slightest idea how to script. All i can do with scripts is edit a few lines here and there to make them behave a bit differently than its original programming.

Start of with using a weapon (most likely the gun) and change the settings
Then, ask someone for a model and make a script that is almost the same as the gun script, but don't CTRL+V! (You won't learn anything if you do that)
Then look at other scripts of other mods (not just weapons) and try to understand them.

After a while you will notice you know some commands and know how to create a simple script.
Try to make your own script (start with a simple slash-command)

Go on and make more difficult scripts.

PS: If you don't know anything about scripting, you'd better do a simple tutorial on C++ (almost the same as Torque)

This is how I started to make decals, faces and prints.

Doe's just Paint work? I have Windows XP Pro, and got Paint with it. Not Paint.net, just paint. I've tried both, so I get the feel of both. But is it possible to use....just paint? I will get Paint.net anyway...brb.

Paint doesn't support transparency
Paint.net does

There is no... official scripting tutorial. You'll just have to look at other scripts.
