Getting a Compiler

In order to compile the gamex86.dll sourcecode, you need to get a compiler.   There are alot of compilers out there - head on over to the .dll Central Compilers section for a list of compilers that can compile Win32 .dlls.

Getting the Sourcecode | thank you Id :)

To compile the sourcecode, you need to get it first.  Go here to find the latest source.

Compiling the Sourcecode | making your compiler do its job

Each compiler has its own steps to go thru in order to compile the .dll.   Head on over to the Quake2 Sourcecode section to see a list of tutorials that teach you how to compile the sourcecode with various compilers.

Making Changes | here's the fun part!

Before you start jumping into making your own patches and stuff, take a look at the .dll Central language tutorials listings, so you can familiarize yourself with C.  If you already know C, then take a look at the Quake2 tutorials section to get an idea of what can be done.  After taking a look at what has been done, think of a cool idea you would like to see and start coding!

If you come up with something you think is cool, let us know about it - we'd love to post it!
