Hi, I'm Newt from excessive overkill, which I suppose you guys would consider v4? If anyone who at one time played the original, but aren't up with the latest news -- it's like a Vespa on a Nascar racetrack, one false move and it's smitten off the face of the earth. Though I guess you guys don't have Nascar in Europe I suppose in Canada, neither do we. I'd like to, if possible make some minor changes to the game, mostly they're things that have already been done in E+ or other mods, little things to have some fun before the admin pulls the plug and we either migrate to v6 or disperse forever. Unfortunately, as mentioned in the title, I'm having some development challenges.

Maybe I'm just special, but, I errors which suggest that either I'm doing something horribly wrong, or Mr. Pants published the premature source code. As E+ spawned from its ashes, I'm assuming that I'm doing something horribly wrong. In compiling Game/

The errors that I get are
g_client:5163 ERROR: symbol ex_wp_spawn undefined
g_client:5182 ERROR: symbol ex_weapons undefined

I tried to define them in the code, which gave me a "successful" compile. This successful compile then gave me console errors, if I remember correctly it mentioned how the weapon was not found.

My first question is, how were you able to work around this?

My second question is, is there a reason as to why the source code of E+ hasn't been released (maybe it has and I just missed it?).

Thirdly, while I haven't been very active in this mod, and therefor don't really know anyone here, but - if this is a complete and utterly stupid question to ask, please say so - what does it take to become one of the development team? While my C++ (quake runs on its own C, but the one is fairly easy to understand if you know the other, right?) ability is not exactly advanced, I've taken a few computer science classes (high school) and have done fairly well. Would it be possible for me to become a contributing member to this project?

Thanks,

Newt.
