Hi! I just bought 4coder this morning and I am trying to get started with some customization. I have checked Allen's youtube channel and the 4coder website, but I can't seem to find anything up to date. Most youtube stuff refers to the 4coder_custom.cpp and .h files, which are not present in the current version. I'm trying to wrap my head around the source code but I can't find a way to rebind keys and add custom functionality.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Also I remember from Handmade Hero that 4coder used to come with Casey's customization source code, but I can't seem to find any of it in the 4.0.25 folder, is that still the case?

1. I'm sorry to admit, it has indeed become quite complicated in the custom layer. Shipping simpler example layers and tutorials for modifying the default one is one of my main objectives before I retire this engine.
2. Under 4coder_generated/remapping.h you will see the default bindings. This used to be in normal easy to read code, but in order to easily support multiple bindings for Mac, and to support the documentation of default bindings, I ended up moving it into generated code. There are two good ways to do your own bindings. The first option is to modify remapping.h. The advantage is that it is easy to get it done quickly and without any boilerplate code, but the downside is that you'll have to redo it with new builds. The second option is to make a "my_bindings.cpp" file, include at the top "4coder_default_include.cpp" then define the procedure:
3. Right now Casey's customization is only available with handmade hero source. I will begin including it in the next build (4.0.26).

Hi, I'm trying to implement what you said and have some problems with building.
my_bindings.cpp
4coder_default_include.cpp
There are a long list of error but first:
Did i do something wrong?

The customization layer - getting started thread might help you.
I think you should not edit 4coder_default_include.cpp. But include it at the top of my_bindings.cpp.
Then you need to pass my_bindings.cpp to the buildsuper.bat script. In a console:
@Allen, if it's ok with you could you pin the getting started thread ?

My plan is to get a few wiki pages up very soon, and I'll use your getting started post as one of those wiki pages.
After I did this code compiled successfully but editor wont start:

Creating library custom_4coder.lib and object custom_4coder.exp
It's weird that it was creating a static library instead of a dynamic (dll). Did you modify buildsuper.bat ?
No it creates a lib whenever you build a dll, so that you can link to the dll with the linker instead of manually calling LoadLibrary, that is normal behavior.
