So, I'm very new to Quake modding and Xonotic modding. My goal is to make a standalone game with Darkplaces like Xonotic. In order to achieve that goal I figure I'll need to work with the engine more. So... How do I get started? What resources do I need?

You'll need NetRadiant for mapping, FTEQCC for QuakeC scripting, and a good text editor for coding. Check out Inside3D, QuakeOne forums, and Xonotic’s GitLab for resources and tutorials. Start with small mods before moving to standalone development.

Brave of you to think that 6 years later he still waits for an answer 😅

By now you can also recommend ChatGPT
