Progs are binary files containing bytecode that contain platform and architecture indepenent programs.
We generally refer to them as progs.
Our SDK is built using QuakeC as the language of choice, as that's where the engine-provided API is the most powerful and there is a great deal of history of games using it.
The main game-logic module, first introduced with Quake (1996). It is involved with the core game entities, triggers, and decides what monsters, items and weapons are allowed in the game and how they are used. In Nuclide, the server game is tightly coupled with Entity Definitions to make everything streamlined for content creators and developers alike.
Largely responsible for visual effects and the overall presentation. A large chunk of the client-side code is spent executing shared code between client and server. Player movement, weapons and vehicle input is shared between client and server to ensure smooth network play.
We offer multiple types of progs the game-logic can load/unload at runtime. They're often called Multi-Progs, Plugin APIs.
You will generally find them within your <gamedir>/progs directory.
They are optional. So if you want to handle everything internally, you can.
But if you're worried about keeping up with changes, you may want to depend on their stable APIs and extend your game using modules as the main method of feature-injection.
