This thread is to enlighten folks who really wants to know what really goes on when the pros and the brass make hacks and mods for this game.
Some of you might already know how they do it. For those who don't, well, programmers like us use this what you call "Languages" to make programs and stuff that go around inside the computer.
What exactly do you mean by that?
Programming languages are the method/s in which the programmer writes the program. When I say "write", I literally mean it. A program is nothing but a bunch of different instructions that is bundled together which the computer then performs. We write the commands or codes in a text editor or a word processor like the very handy notepad. The finished document is known as a "source code" or the blueprints of the program.
So what's next? How does the text document become a program?
The source code is then compiled using a compiler of the language used.
You see, there are lots of programming languages available and each has its own ups and downs, but the commonly used for making hacks for this game are the C languages, Visual Basic and Python.
Programming languages is a compromise between the computer and the programmer in which, the commands and syntaxes written are understandable by both the computer and the programmer. You don't just type stuff that you want the computer to do as is or directly and there's thousands of commands and syntax that you need to study first!
The compiler then "compiles" and sometimes debugs the source code to finally become a program. The compiler acts as the "translator" or mediator between the programmer and the computer, it translates the codes written to binary which the computer understands. It can either be the standard binary format, in octal format or in hexadecimal format (mostly used for memory hacking).
So now you know what simple programmers like me do and what the guys at the brass (the mods and senior hackers of this section) do, although it takes a lot of sleepless nights, burgers, pizzas, chips, sodas, and headaches before we finish a small program.
Take note that it usually takes hundreds of pages and thousands of commands to type before we come up with a little program. Yes, the better the program or hack, the more stuff that you have to type, the more headaches you get. (And you thought it was just a couple of pages.) But since visual basic now involves an easier environment and GUI (graphic user interface), it would be faster if we use it.
I hope the stuff above helped and that you finished reading until the end (Yeah, it was kind of long dude...) and you learned from it. So please, stop begging for new hacks, even if I were the hacker, I'd be somehow pissed a little too. Let's also respect the hiatuses of the other fellow hackers. It's much harder to make a working hack now since GCPH is starting to get harder to bypass.
Thanks for reading again and please PRESS THE THANKS BUTTON IF IT HELPED OR IF YOU LEARNED SOMETHING NEW.
