Intermediate Programmer Thread - Half-Life 2: The Abyss mod for Half-Life 2: Episode Two

Hello!
My name is Jonas, I'm 26 and I've been programming for a year now.
I can see, that if you want to mod/program for the source engine, you have to know C++
It just happens that C was my first language to learn, and recently learned the ++ part of it.
I wouldn't call myself a veteran or skilled programmer by any means,
but I'm willing to be a part of this project, and contribute and learn however I can!
14 years ago, I was part of a modding community in Denmark for the Original Half-Life Engine.
So I think I can recall how to use the Valve hammer editor.
Also I have have a minor "degree" in Film/TV/Cinematography, so I know a lot about videos,sound, editing, recording, lighting, formats etc..

I can be contacted on jonas[insert the At sign here]holm.tech

Looking forward to making this mod a work of greatness!
Best Regards
- Jonas from Denmark

What programming are you willing to help with, I'm not the person who decides who goes into the team, but I wanna know. Are you going to do Shader programming, A.I. programming (I'm already doing that.), etc. And have you ever touched the Source Engine's code?

I haven't been programming for the source engine, so no.
I'm down with both things, but I have a bit of curisity towards shader programming, but I havn't done any before, so no matter what it's not like I'm goring to be the magician programmer from day 1, I have a learning curve to climb in regards to the source engine and shader programming

But in all honesty, I just want to help out with what is needed for the project, don't have any preferences for real

I think is the best way to help is get familiar with the engine. Try out some code. Look at the Valve Dev Wiki, that's where I started.

I think you might be right!
I'll look into it, get it configured and test out some code..
Then i'll post back here about my progress!
Now I've gotten most things configured, (the source engine code compiles without errors now)
and now I'm ready to try out some debugging and hacky code
Will post further progress here

Quick Question: What version of the source engine are we using? 2013 i hope
