Which programming languages?

Post by shuffo »

Hi,

I'm just curious to know what sort of programming languages you use to mod xbox games for example? I would very much like to contribute to the game modding communities, but as a programmer.

I would assume c++ or c#?

For modding BF2 on the PC, you use LUA, which is a derivative of C. XBox modding is a bit more complicated, but still involves LUA.

If you wan't o modify the shaders you have to learn c++. I don't know, maybe it is not possible to modify the xbox shaders but its possible for pc and it's very fun :D
If you wan't to make good mods you have to learn the SYSTEM of OOP because BF2 use this system. Just google OOP and you will learn a lot
