[Guide] First Steps Of Modding

[Alwaho]

Overview
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I created this thread because when I first started modding I lacked a structural support... A backbone + a few extra things that are nice to know. This will give you that support that you need to become a great modder. Goodluck and the download can be found at the bottom.

Credits go to Lena151 for actually creating this whole entire tutorial.

Wow, a whole series of the all famous and great Lena's video.
Some of her reverseme.exe was quite hard i remember.

x3, I never knew about this and when I finally heard about it I became so much better at modding. Not alot of people notice then when they first begin to mod, including me. If I would have started with this... I might have only taken a week to catch on as it took me longer without it. This does become hard at parts, but struggle through and everything becomes simpler...

Yeah, I remember from watching that to how to modify an old outdated patcher into working again, and then adding new functions into the patcher and making my own patcher, which function wise, isnt really special...

I reallly want the untimate private MNG's source... (the private one with zooming)

[Alwaho]

Random... xD. Press the thanks button for me ?

you won't get it but you can decompile and work on that source then add the zoom mod to it by converting Fantasias zoom from c++ to c and then add it to the source and run with it

No the point is not the zoom, it just THAT particular patch that I dont know what to call it,
there is the public MNG then the private MNG then the zomgwtf private MNG...
Im talking about the zomgwtf one.

I did not want to advertise another site in this forum thank you very much. So I took an hour of my time to put it all up on mediafire. So shut up and enjoy what im posting, I could have not posted this at all.

People mention tuts4u all the time here.
Well, they used to, when people thought others might actually want to learn.

Does this come with any girl on girl action? **** would make this so much more worthwhile in doing.

Are they really that appeal?

T.T sorry, you have to look for that on your own.
