newb coder.. some experience in java

[blinking halo]

hi im new to c++ coding and half life 2 modding in general. i have made some maps for my mod and altered some basic things (menu text/title, rpg speed from myfirstmod document) but i would like some help with a few points:

1) where can i find the weapon damage stats? say i want the pistol to do 100 +/- 10 damage, what code do i alter? i looked at the weapon_pistol.cpp but i couldnt find anything there..

2) how do add a new weapon? do i just add a weapon_****.cpp file and copy n paste code from other weapons?

3) where do i change what the menu buttons do? i know how to change their text but not their functions..

4) or where can i find some good tutorials which cover these questions.
