To get into modding the menus/objects you need to get a good handle on the UI code. Or else your menus and such will have no backend functionality. Unfortunatly there are no tutorials on this stuff for JO (trust me I've looked :( ) so your best bet is just staring at the menu assets2/ui for a LONG time and downloading the JO source SDK here.
Free your mind, use Open Source.

Actually all of that source code in that package is for MP. :D

We're still waiting on stupid Raven to release the SP SDK. :rolleyes:

Hey, Freyr! Good times!

Anyway, doesn't id software have to release the source of the engine (I doubt it will ever happen soon) before Raven releases the SP SDK?

Hey Echo, its been a while. :)

I believe under the Id Software GPL that they are only required to release the source code once Id released the complete engine. Though Raven has done complete releases in the past. Look at Elite Force, they have both the MP and SP SDK. Possibly beceause that game stunk. :p It shouldn't be much longer before Quake3 gets opened up. :D

But Raven should allow users to modify more to SP. Like weapon behavior (and other things). It seems SP editing is so "limited."

If they really want to extend the life of the game its best to release all the code. They could breathe new life into JO/JA if they jsut released the SDK and more editing tools. :(
