Hey,
Well you can decompile the code just fine and recompile it.
But not all parts are that easy, so bytecode editing is best

.
Although i myself create some files myself compile them and replace them.
And use bytecode for some parts hard to reach.
But i havent checked all code so didn't know it had tripwires it didn't have it in older versions.
Might be why my last small try didn't work haha.
Thanks for the info. If i find my other external with the tools i normaly use i might give it a shot again.
