It could help us a lot if you tell us what you changed, use [ code ] tags and state where you changed what. :wink:

It seems these topics appear more and more lately, sigh.

I will give you the truth without sugar coating it. If you don’t have any clue about programming than ripping through the engine code isn’t going to help you much. If you don’t know how to compile code then this immediately lets everyone know that you are clueless.

Either take a class or buy a book, heck even download a C tutorial. Mod making is NOT easy. You can’t just come here and expect to be able to make these ‘uber awesome’ mods from reading 5 mins of the forums.

Some people may disagree with me on this, however, I spent 4 yrs in college earning my BS in Computer Sciences and I still can’t complete everything in 5 minutes. The ET engine is not for a first timer!

When I want to make a change to the code I spend the time reading through the code, examing what is where and what does what. Then after a lot of research I locate the best place for the code to go and the best way to do it.

Without being able to answer a few simple questions(checking google DOES NOT count, because you need understand how these things work) such as:
what are structs?
what are pointers?
whats an array?
whats a constant?
whats a dependency?

I mean there are a ton of things you need to know and you know maybe .001% of the required knowledge to begin on this project.

I say all of this for your own good.
