Go here and download: http://www.blender.org/download/get-blender/
Next Download Python: http://www.python.org/download/

Drag "Python" Into the "Blender" Folder (I think but I am probably wrong with that one. Best to double check)

Open blender

It takes time.

I mean the Create Add-On button. It should be on the right hand side of your screen.

Q: How do I make my own add-ons?
A:
If you can't figure this out on your own you will never be able to do it.

Out, this is not true.

I would suggest looking at scripts such as the default gun and just see how they work and when you feel confident about understanding them, try it out. That's what I did and I am on my way to scripting a working weapon.

I also found playertypes the easiest to script so I would suggest working with them. REMEMBER: do not edit the original file. Always make a new one.

Also if you ARE on a Mac computer (which you probably aren't) I can give you help on how to turn text edit files into .cs files and .txt files.

If you are on a mac, you have to use YemuZip to make proper .zip files(set YemuZip to "PC Compatible").

YemuZip?
I have nothing that helps me make it a .zip just rightclick the two files (Apple click) and right click and select "Compress" it works fine.
