IDE question
 

Are there any tutorials that teach you how to use an IDE ?

You just gotta get to know the environment.

You've got your solution explorer which contains all of the files to be compiled for each project.
You've got your build output window which will tell you the progress of your compiles and any errors/warnings that come up.
You've got your main code editor window, this one's pretty easy to figure out =P
And then the search feature, which can search in that file, that project, or the entire solution.

Getting used to an IDE just takes time, so use it however you wish to use it.

no, the problem is that I don't know how to use it this is my first time deciding to do programming and I don't know how to use the program ?

In the modding field of programming my konwledge is very minimal.

Re: IDE question
 

Do you have the MP SDK? (Source code)

Re: IDE question
 

um sorry i have to ask this question, which source code, the source code of the program or game ?

Sorry again I really really have minimal knowledge in programming.

For the game. If you don't have it already, here it is:

Re: IDE question
 

I already have the source code for the game, so do you mean the source code of the program ?

Re: IDE question
 

No... The MP SDK contains source code for the game.
What IDE are you trying to use? The MP SDK assumes that you're going to be using MS Visual C++. You can download a free version of it here:
Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition

Re: IDE question
 

the IDE im using is microsoft visual studio, but the problem is i dont know how to use the program and.... thats why I really wanted to take a tutorial that would teach me how to use the program.

RAZOR, you said it takes some time to get used to using an IDE, so is it really that easy to use, but takes time ?

Re: IDE question
 

You just have to get used to the concept of working with 'projects' in a 'solution', and compiling your code.
It takes time, but once you understand it, things become a lot easier.
