Modding Tutorial for Beginners

[@kitten-whisperer]

As someone who knows nothing about computers and the thought of how mods are made popped into my head, this seems so insanely daunting to me.

[@Rifatbinmaruf]

Same here 😂

[@heatherosborne7]

I think the more you practice the easier it gets..just see it as a new challenge and see it as practice to learn instead of the mind set of u have to figure it out or it won't work..I know seems simple but just having the right mindset can leave you sometimes surprised at the consequential outcome 😊 best to ya I hope it goes well and you guys get great at it😊😁 seems stupid I know ..but just try it❤

[@irelyndd3853]

I felt that way at first, too. I modded my Sims 4 game a year ago and I was helllllllaaaaa confused. But once you do it a few times it starts to make sense and seem less confusing!

[@kattattack1857]

@@irelyndd3853 Do you have any tips on how to do that? Like actually accessing the code. Do you use dnSpy? And also, if you don’t want to fully mess up the game, did you make a copy of the whole game to mod that instead? Also, if you did, did you have to just deal with the extra space or is there a way to do it in a more space efficient way? And is there a way to save your modifications but not have like a dozen copies of the game? Sorry for the long message, but I’m asking you since Sims 4 is quite a large game (storage-wise), and I doubt you just deleted your work once you were done.

[@fullmetaltheorist]

It's not. Don't worry it he's easier the more you learn.

[@StanMangamer]

I am a video game developer and never even knew where to begin with modding. This is all the info I needed thanks. I’m about to have a lot of fun

[@Purple-Lore]

to me this looks like actually getting into the source code of most single player games is the easy part, and the hard part is knowing the language at all.

[@pratikbawankar8066]

C# is much easy than C++

[@Shiffo]

I would say that now a days, understanding the language is less hard. You can literally ask ChatGPT what a certain lines of code is doing. And ask it to adjust it with the correct syntax for something you want it to do. The most important part here is understanding the logic or what you are actually looking for. And you should ask for help to chatgpt to understand the syntax / language

[@bapoTV]

​@@ShiffoI wouldn't use ChatGPT as a beginnee tho, the learning phase is really too important to use AI. When you do some serious projects then it makes sense

[@Shiffo]

@@bapoTV you can literally ask chatgpt to break down each line of code and tell you what it does. If you ask the right questions, you can learn a lot.

[@leetrothschild7465]

@@bapoTV true. without fundamental knowledge how code works even users who use chatgpt without background knowledge would still have no idea where to put the code. I'm an IT graduate but not into game development and I always knew modders were mostly developers in their free time

[@deminidze]

ok, but what if I want to open some dll file with my vs from a game that has not-so-open source code? I'm an absolute beginner and everything I get is mishmash or undecipherable symbols instead of a code, is it what it mean to have not open source code or I'm failing somewhere crucially there?

[@XenpaiFelouch]

hey iwanMods, i made a moded skin with moded mesh in mobile legends. and the moded texture and mesh are work, but the problem, its only stay on T-pose. well i think its because i didnt put bones, but the problem is how can i export a bones in Unity? so in that case i can replace it using UABE

[@XenpaiFelouch]

how can i contact you?

[@Iron-Blurr]

Thank you for the great tutorial! I have a question. How would you go about coding a Randomizer Mod? There are specific weapons/items that spawn in set locations. I am trying to change the item/weapon that spawns but not trying to change the set location on the map where this spawn occurs. Eventually I would like to be able to change the set spawn locations but that seems way more complicated so for now I just want to randomize what you get at those set locations. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

[@damiencarle8344]

Funny enough I ended up here for the same purpose and i've already got my game ripped open and ready to look through. In my case, there is a "metadata" folder that contains all events, items, etc. So I have my program look for the event that corresponds to picking up an item (in this case for me, it's "onLooted"), then when that's called, you want to hook onto that and intercept it, instead grabbing the randomized item which you can have from a designated table of items; so mine so far just rudimentarily grabs every item in the itemTable metadata and shuffles it like crazy, assigns it to a location, then when the location has the "onLooted" event trigger, it intercepts that event, puts in the new item code, and lets the event continue onwards. It's jank but it works out really well. If you need a starting point and have no idea what you're doing like me roughly 2 weeks ago, I recommend looking at an archived video on the Games Done Quick youtube channel called "AGDQ 2019 Panels: Making a Randomizer" where it's a bunch of popular randomizer devs talking about their thought process on making it, as well as common issues. It's helped me a ton with the mindset.

[@Iron-Blurr]

@@damiencarle8344 I'm trying to make it for Transformers 2004 ps2. There's a small following and speed run community for the game.

[@Angel-ij4bk]

@@Iron-Blurr I would be willing to help you if you are still stuck on it. In any case it is all about finding how things are called in the code and try to figure how it works. In programming there exists randomize functions that select a pseudo-random function for you. You whould have to locate where in the code the item is selected and in that place put a randomizer and assign the number that you get with an item from the internal table that the game should have. Hope it helps somewhat.

Actually, could you let me know if you think if this would work: I was thinking that if you wanted to mod games from Steam, you could go into the files and make a copy of the whole game, mod it using the dnSpy, then add it back into the Steam game directory under a new name to play it? (Or load the modified game using the Steam import game function?) Because there are so many games I think would be awesome to mod and relatively easy to access while still supporting the original creators. I think it would also be useful because making a copy would mean I’m not utterly ruining the original. Sure it’s not exactly space efficient if you’re modding a large game (which I’d be open for tips on how to do), but it’d work for so many smaller games that would be so much fun to mess with! 😊

is it possible to add a new character model in a unity game with this tool?

[@tuthures5824]

Not a modder ust guessing, but it would depend on how the game was programmed, if it was as simple as this game you would need first decide on what you want to do, do you want to have a skin selector? Do you want to just change the skin? From there you would need to find what part of the program messes with it, if it as simple as that game you probably would need to make something from scratch and add it somehow, or if it already has an skin selector you probably would just need to add the skin to it and rig the character with the proper animations, basically you would need to rip the skeleton off of the game itself and put it on the desirable skin. You will probably need to learn some coding aswell

[@juaneliaskuso6233]
