in Modding
I would love to get started modding. It's only a bit hard to find a good entry point.
Programming is not really a problem for me. I have good experience with java and lua doesn't look that difficult.

I tried to do this tutorial:
http://unknownworlds.com/ns2/time-to-make-the-mods/

There is no game_setup.xml. I created it myself and then the mod works.

I only wonder about this line:

<loading>lua/ModLoading.lua</loading>

In the console it says that the file is not found. And that could be true since I never created it cause no one told me to.
Should i delete the line of code? Or do I need to create the file? And if so, what has to be in the file?

Please help, I would love to get started.

    A gamesetup.xml is only required if you are using the overwriting files method. If you are using the hooked/mod entry system, then you would use a different system. I only have experience of the pre-hook system, as I started modding before it was created, and never switched over due to it's inefficiencies for my projects.

    Yeah if i would be able to clone myself that might solve some time issues :D. But yeah take a look. I will take your feedback in account for future guide improvements.

    For now i won't really work at the guide until we got 268 in RC mode which will happen soon :)

    The guide looks cool so far. I like that the zombie mod is simple but not to simple. The flaming shotgun was way to simple.
    Can't wait till you have more.
