Tutorial Requests

[scar3crow]

This is a thread to request tutorials you would like to see tackled by any of the coders in this community - submitting something does not mean a tutorial will be written for it, there is nothing compulsory about it, it is to serve as motivation and inspiration to those coders willing to share their knowledge.

Keep in mind that the point of a tutorial is to learn, not how to get the code for something. I for one would like to see something on creating a rounds based system where the level resets, but does not reload, or a good spectating system or entities like CTF flags or domination control points. Compare this with some of our older tutorials which are more cut and paste jobs.

Requesters - Let loose, be creative, but be open in terms of the subject matter.

Writers - Explain the code line for line, the variances therein, and why it goes down the way it does. This is a chance to share knowledge and continue Quake!

My own requests

HUD additions as seen in CTF and TF notifying of changes in a team score. Similar things, not just scores.

Working with entity angles.

Just how damage, death, spawning and state changes go down.

Adding menus and how to expand them.

Goal entities in custom game modes and how to get started.

Heres a very simple one - Creating a new qc file, integrating it with the rest of the qc files and having it called correctly and knowing where to include it.
