Cod Modding/Addons

[keinmann]

Good evening ladies and gentlemen,

I just recently acquired a copy of CoD and have been enjoying the heck out of it! And like many of you, I crave more, more, more! And by that, I of course mean more planes, more campaigns, new sounds, improvements, the whole 9.

I read on the internet a while back that 1C would be releasing an SDK for modders, and I find the proposition incredibly exciting. The post I read which said this, however, was many months old and said the SDK was not released yet. Has this changed? Is it out now? Or any idea when it will be? And what else do we know about it? Will it be a C# SDK (if so I will jump for joy lol)?

Through browsing the forums I also notice people are doing some "scripting" with C# for CoD missions and other things. This literally has me salivating on my keyboard lol. I am quite a C#/.NET "expert", so I'm intensely excited about the new possibilities. But I've literally only had the sim a couple days, and I haven't even had a chance to explore the root directory lol. Can anyone fill me in on what is currently possible? Where did Oleg hide the references (DLLs) for this? Is there a documentation? Basically, tell me everything you can about this and where I can find out more. No lessons in C# or n00b walkthroughs needed, just point me in the right direction with my shovel and I will dig!

Regards,

keinmann

I don't think anyone knows when/if they will be released.

Very little. There are 2 videos (posted 4 years ago) on the map-making SDK

COD exposes a number of C# classes for game events that can be used to write custom scripts. There are classes for OnAIrcraftLanded, OnPlaceEnter, OnBattleStart, OnAircraftDamaged etc etc.

You might want the start by setting up C# Express to view the COD classes. See HERE.
