Newbie to modding

[legacy-jamieoliver22]

Hiya all.

Sorry if this question has been asked before (im sure it probaly has).

I wanted to know if anyone could give me an insight into the basics of modding in UT2004. I want to know how to easily change the weapons to cusomized ones?

Jamie.

This is more of a Programming Question than a level editor one, but you'll want to look into mutators:

If you can a programming language, it should be np.
Modding for unreal is like making a sub-folder of UT2004 with your Mod-Name, always post your packages in this subfolder, looking on UnrealWiki what the interfaces of UScript are, and voila.
Writing Mutators is even easier. But you have to know an object orientated programming language like Java and C++.
