V_weapons

[CharlieSandford]

Hi there, I've recently gotten back into quake engine programming after a few years, as wel as the QC scripting language that goes along with it. While i've been able to find a lot of the old tutorials from back in the day, I was wondering if anyone had the old v_weap tutorial for the regular opengl client? I've tried hacking together various quakeworld v_wep codes and such but to no avail so wondered if anyone could possibly help me out with this one. I've started an engine from the base glquake code and so far im having a lot of fun, any help with this would be greatly aprreciated. Thankyou. Now that I think about it i beleive the original code/tutorial from back in the day may have just been pure QC code rather than engine code, so apologies if i've posted in the wrong forum.

What does the code/tutorial that you want do?

Basically, it would make the model hold the correct weapon model, and everyone else in the game could see it, rather than just the standard blaster model. So like if someone had picked up a lightning gun in deathmatch everyone else could see them carrying it etc... There was code around a long time ago, i used it myself and fixed it up somewhat but its been so many years now i cant find it and just dont know where to start. Hope that clarifies a little Thanks

seven's small mod compilation actually has V_weapons and is open-source:

so you could take the v_weapon code from his mod
