Yea right. Too much rules there. In a sense isn’t the spirit of hacking/modding to break the rules? If you are really a “rules” person then you should go modless.
I sense an enormous amount of hypocrisy when I see the RULES on mabimods being written by MARCK. Like come on… I can never get over that part.

When a forum is named “mabimods” and it doesn’t even allow cheat engine…it’s pathetic.
A year ago I was a total noob in the whole modding business. Never used any mod or touched pake. But I knew pake was a powerful thing and I’ve always wanted to have the skill to understand it and make it work for me. After years of self-learning in reversing and whatnot, last summer I finally feel it was time for me to get it working. But I knew absolutely nothing about it. It’s hard to get something to work when you don’t know what work it does. Knowing I would probably get trolled if I asked here, I went over to mabimods and made a thread asking what dinput8.dll is. All I got was a bunch of people auguring whether that thread should be there and then my thread was deleted. So I came here and made another thread. Thankfully I got a few intelligent responses with info to get me going. From there I reversed dinput8 and fixed pake and blah blah.
Around the same time, there was this thread called “a challenge to the community” on mabimods asking people to contribute a way to bypass TMD checksum to make patcher possible. Since I had a way to do it so I posted a video in there showing me changing maps with alissa logging the sent packets. (I only fixed 1 hook at the time so all alissa did was logging sent packets, nothing more). I was expecting to be contacted by some dev to share the bypass info. But instead I got flamed by some guy called shaggyze. I explained it was only to demonstrate the checksum bypass and deleted the video right away. (Honestly it was the only thing I could use as I didn’t have any other mod) But he insisted anything that had anything to do with “bad cake” was a crime and the flame continued. I was like screw this I’m done with this place lol.
So you see, when I asked a question there, it didn’t work. When I tried to contribute there it didn’t work either.
I would rather get trolled than having so many rules.

Beginners should always start lurking around in the guide section because it contains so many useful stuff. How to denagle yourself, How to PMG Swap, How to make Custom Pet AI Messages. They should all start there and once they feel like they master that kind of modding then they can move up to more advanced features, which is hard coding and reserve engineering the client. Which I will admit it is kinda hard to find a tutorial over there but the ASM itself is already a difficult process to understand, that's why I label it as an advance modding. If they are truly interested then we can offer help about that by giving them old sources like Fantasia where they can experiment a little on the ASM OP codes and hex AOB Searching.
So yeah, I don't understand what you meant by "But they will learn nothing there" when there's a shit ton to learn as a beginner. I just think it takes a lot of patience, independence(not much, but there is help out there) and creative to do this kind of task.

Yea…good if you just want to do xml edits and pmg swaps. I never had much interested on those stuff and never really spent time on them. I set my goal to go for the powerful stuff right from the beginning. Since OP is asking about alissafix, he probably has the same goal and won’t find anything valuable there.
But sorry OP, if you are brand new and just starting, I suggest you to stop right away. There used to be heaps of fun one can have with pake. But not anymore, all the funs are taken already by people in the past and mabinogi is now more secure than ever.:D
