Specifically c++, for those who can code out there.

Currently in a Comp.Sci I class, so learning Java. What I've learned is experience is the best teacher, after that you just need others to help you see a better way to do what you want to. (or in my case when I keep forgetting the fundamentals of loops, Nielk to guide me to an answer.)

Once you learn one language, you tend to need just the basics of another and then you can jump ahead in it a great distance and get to specialization.

I'm yet to learn C++, but the languages I do know (Java, Pascal and C#) I learned from taking programming classes in College.

I can handle telling ppl with basic knowledge in programming how to use another language and how to look up code for it. So, for example, I could help Hemming there with C++ since he knows Java, which is similar enough (but not close) to C++ that I can draw relations.

Start by finding a forum that supports the language you want to learn and ask for help there. I recently downloaded a compiler called Free Basic to learn about how to make TSX plugins for Truespace, but I figure with enough patients almost anything is possiible. Python, sounds like a useful one too, but for BZII I have no clue as programming is not a popular topic from what little I've seen. These guys don't have time to teach even the basics. Try another site like MSDN perhaps?

If they are then the BZII DLL scriptor must be C as well. Programming looks pretty trick though. If you're not careful I would imagine it would be pretty easy to screw up the game with the wrong coding stuff. Still, it is worth the effort to learn something new relating BZII. I hear all these guys bragging about how much can be done with DLL's, but none have ever bothered to explain how to do anything in terms of posting information about how it's actually done. Find a better forum to post on as it ain't going to happen here, or at least that's the impression I've gotten so far.

Maybe N1 should start doing tutorials.

I know, and I didn't actually intend you to consider it.

Yes they are, but the BZ2 scriptor generates the .DLL's from much simpler code that you put in. The scriptor is piss easy to learn, and you can make missions and instant-action based stuff with it. For ANYTHING multiplayer, you need to learn C++, but as Nielk1 says its not learnt the way ODF's are, you really have to know the language first. |

I very much disagree. You just have to be very aware that you will be spending a few weeks very confused, and after that a few weeks you will be facing a lot of questions.  |

To write code that is not dangerous and redundant you need to know how to program already.
