Title: Web Tutorials and Resources
Post by: personman on July 11, 2008, 10:51:10 AM
I'm still a bit new to C and the Id Tech 3 codebase, here are some resources that have helped me along the way. If there are other resources, tutorials, guides, that aren't listed, reply here with them and I'll try to add them.

Code 3 Arena (http://code3arena.planetquake.gamespy.com/) - Lots of beginning tutorials, some handy references.

http://www.quake3hut.co.uk/q3coding/ (http://www.quake3hut.co.uk/q3coding/) - More tutorials

Q3 Documentation Project (http://www.quake3world.com/ubb/Forum4/HTML/005563-2.html) - Documents some of the more useful obscure internal functions...or something like that.

The two you mentioned would have been the same ones I would have suggested. For example, if level editing and mappings your thing then your spoiled for choice here http://www.quake3world.com/ubb/Forum6/HTML/013172.html

That's level design missbehaving, not programming the id Tech 3 engine. ;)

Congratulations on your latest observation, I know how much it makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. Yea, I'm kind of retarded on forums, it's a great privelage to be corrected at all my short comings so I can try  be more observant in future. It just happened to be one example of what you can expect if you do a bit of digging around in that forum. Perhaps it's the reason the poster highlighted it in the first place. I did not claim to add more value other than it was a great resource for information

It doesn't actually.

At that point I know you are looking for an argument. One hopes you would learn from your previous mistakes.

It keeps things in order if you have different sections and post the information correctly in each section. For example the resource you have posted is completely useless to a programmer but for someone wanting to learn Mapping skills it is a valuable resource. People looking at mapping are not going to go into the coding section to look for resources on mapping.

A great resource to a mapper/modeller not a programmer. I would suggest placing that resource in the Development Section. Rather than the programming section.

Thinking before you post is the key & definitely don't post if all your doing is looking for an argument. ;)
