Mmm, "sufficient."  Such high praise.

Added some info on some of the defs files to the guide.  Would be nice to get some scripting info up next, but that's quite a can of worms...

You were saying?

Haha maybe we should make one of the weapons shoot this as a sprite But yeah scripts can be all over the place that's true man its like where to start :s

Yeah you should post the dragon breath shotgun shells dude wouldn't mind checking them out. Also, really good to see another person writing some guides for Turok I thought it was kind of sad that there was only one person doing it. Seemed like that was lonely though. Nice job!

It is really nice to see indeed and good to. I'm so busy lately its tough I been trying to work on something for Turok again now though. Was messing with something last night felt good to be home

Also, I like sufficient mods for Turok actually. Nothing to game changing just a little brush of your art to the game because the game is already so fun imo. Like the Doom sounds that is a nifty little mod shotgun sounded good as Dooms. Simple yet effective and creative are also good mods to try. I would play them aswell I will soon post a quick mod as soon as I can. I will get to work on it now.

Nope.  The most exotic thing I've released is dragon's breath shotgun shells.

Added that file overview I was talking about.  I highlighted the three areas that I consider to be the core areas.  Ideally each item will link to more thorough reference material in the future.

Looking at Duke's and Kaiser's modding guides, I feel like Kaiser's is pretty vague if you're not already familiar with this style of modding, and Duke's focuses too much on kpf files.  You really shouldn't be modifying game.kpf directly, and you shouldn't be making your own until you're ready to package up a mod for release.

So I've thrown together my own basic modding guide for getting started.  It explains what dev mode is for, and gives an example of the workflow for overriding files and making changes to them.  I'll probably explain making kpf files and the mods folder later, possibly even in a separate tutorial to keep this one as simple and clear as possible.

I'm also moving the links to this stuff to my signature, so I can easily update them in one place if I ever reorganize my dropbox.

Rok, let me know if this helps you with getting started, and if anything isn't clear.  Really what it comes down to is pretty much just getting the file structure figured out, and then opening stuff in notepad and experimenting.

Perhaps next I'll give a bit of an overview of what all the different files actually control.

Here're some random notes of mine, including some kfx reference.  It's incomplete and may have some errors (since it's based purely on observation), but still covers some cryptic stuff.

Dude thanks for this i'm always bothering duke about things like this almost constantly and I can tell he is really busy lately. This is good for me they seem pretty correct to me because I was messing with the oncollide kfx stuff not to long ago. One thing I'm trying to do is just simply make more blood but I was thinking I need to understand things in full before really doing anything. I have a little more time atm so I am going to use it to understand more now.

I am pretty sure I know what step on importing models your talking about here hehe.

Its step 9 of importing models how would I ever know that the slashes go backwards by themselves :S I won't actually need to import any models into the game though I love the models and weapons how they are already but its great to know. I mostly been messing with kfx files but it can be tedious individually testing what each line does for each effect. But its totally worth it... its just that I don't have much time to really do anything but i'm sure I will have something kind of cool some day.
