I have been messing around with Game engines for a while now. I have used Blender, Dark GDK and now trying to figure out how UDK works. I have the free version which from my understanding came out a few weeks ago. I am so not into making another "been there done that" game like copying Gears of War and just adding diff weapons. Im looking into creating my own RPG / (praying for) multi player game (though LAN). My questions are:

- Where can i find a guide on re-writing the script for Unreal Development Kit.
- so you understand where im coming from. I plan to make a game some what like this but very different (and less in depth since this is all just a hobby). http://www.mortalonline.com/
- I am a noob, point me in the right directions! this stuff UDK presents me with is very hard to follow. (and discouraging. Dark Basic Pro was so much easier to handle..... but people seem to think this is way better so i dont wanna stop now.)

thanks for your time.

Example:

I want to re-write the whole damn thing. I wanna remove the guns, Life counter, physics, all that jazz. and write in my own code.

Also i have seen many other posts like mine and no one understanding what they are asking, is i am hoping i made myself clear. If you do not understand please say what i am making unclear.

Hi:

Your going to get the same answers as the others. Do the tutorials, there are a lot. Start with a gun etc. work your way up. Do Ambershee's tutorials, they are hosted on ModDB just google them.

If you get stuck on one particular thing, then it is appropriate to ask for help on it. Such as for example. My custom gun renders black, help? providing a screen shot and your code for the gun.

So this is a complicated process and there is no golden answer such as "o just change this and tick that" :/

if the game engine can do anything why do they ship out this version to be set-up to make Gears of war games. Why not open it up to a more flexible environment.

The engine is not setup to do that, the reason is there is many tutorials on how to mod for unreal and gears of war, and that is where you have to start.

Then you will have to write codes to define everything in your game, and that is the way it works.
