Modding YOTD features

NeedWolf opened this issue · 8 comments

I am very new to modding so I have no idea how to mod (but I do have some programming experience) anything other than images which you have helped with and thank you, but how would I add or modify the game features. I know that is a general topic, so is there anything you would suggest to mod the game features. I know tag duels is in the game, but there is no display to get to it. So where could I start to get started on a project like that?

If you want to do anything like that you're going to need to learn a lot about Assembly and reverse engineering since you're going to need to hack a lot of logic into the game that doesn't already exist in it.

Ouch that sounds intense. Well I think it might already be in the game though. I found some evidence that tag duels are in the code, but not used. It is quite strange. In fact, I think like half the game was left out. There were towers too and other things I don't understand.

Yeah a lot of stuff was ditched and it used to be in the engine, to uncover and unlock it you'd need to find every reference and patch stuff in yourself, so a lot of work for not much gain.

Goodluck though

I will keep trying. lol
I hope I am not bothering you too much, and thanks for the help!

Nah not at all, keep it up my dude and feel free to reach out if you need help

Awesome! I appreciate it! So, would it be like what you did with the shop plugin, but on a much bigger scale?

Pretty much, you'll need to figure out all the entry points you need to hijack, set up the game state in a way that won't crash the game, I'm not seasoned at RE but I wouldn't attempt something like this, and if it's your first time dipping the toes into RE I'd avoid against this since it is a MASSIVE underaking

I don't know if I want to mod this. This seems intense and not for much reward like you said. I might mod it later, but definitely not now. Still, thank you for all your help! I still learned a lot from this.
