(thanks Tyne, i've been there before. is there any other sites that are more beginner friendly? you know start with something simple and work your way up?)

What are you looking to do?

Something with weapons? Monster? Bots? etc.

i was looking to maybe make a monster and program the animation, AI, movements. then from there do the same to my main character and then do some coding for the world map itself (like i said in steps)

all this for one day reaching my ultimate goal of making a mod (or, with a miracle, TC)

inside3d has beginner tutorials, I suggest reading all of them.
If you're new to making mods then go ahead and make a TC but good luck, I started like 4 TC's which were never released because they sucked since I was learning back then. (I still have 'em also)

As you're new to QuakeC, I suggest reading this link first:

http://www.inside3d.com/qcspecs/qc-menu.htm

Then you can try to do something from the QC tutorials at Inside3D, and I also suggest that you go around modifying things in the QC code just to see what happens. Don't worry if you get errors or if your computer freezes when you try to run your mod, it's very, very common at the beginning. The best advice I can give to you is to, when you're coding, compile and test your code on Quake every time you change a few things. Don't wait to test it only after changing a lot of stuff, because if you get a error it will be harder to find out what's causing it.
