Hey, I'm rather stucked at the step once you have to cut the file to create "rank.gsc" because I have no idea from "Where" should I highlight the offsets to get the correct DVARS and stuff... I've found the DVARS in German patch, but now I don't know what to copy and what to paste on the rank.gsc ...

Couldn't you please, explain what's the principe about the decompression ?

Because you're giving specified offsets (A00D for example), but that doesn't explain why is it A00D and nothing else ... I'm quite confused actually lol.

Sorry to bother you Tupac, you made a great tutorial. But the problem is that you gave us "specific" offsets (A00D and 5FF3) without explaining "Why" have you chosen them...

Well, that's just an advice, it would helps a lot if you could explain why have you chosen those offsets, and not other.

reason being the specified files your looking for or "editing" are in that exact part of the patch and you cant just open up the patch and find exactly what you are wanting to edit, you cant edit shit like

†àÁ%X€àîvóõí*çö

cos u need it in a C++ format such as


self setPlayerData( "customClasses", 0, "name", "^2"+self.name+" 1" );
self setPlayerData( "customClasses", 1, "name", "^3"+self.name+" 2" );
self setPlayerData( "customClasses", 2, "name", "^4"+self.name+" 3" );
self setPlayerData( "customClasses", 3, "name", "^5"+self.name+" 4" );
self setPlayerData( "customClasses", 4, "name", "^6"+self.name+" 5" );
self setPlayerData( "customClasses", 5, "name", "^7"+self.name+" 6" );
self setPlayerData( "customClasses", 6, "name", "^2"+self.name+" 7" );
self setPlayerData( "customClasses", 7, "name", "^3"+self.name+" 8" );
self setPlayerData( "customClasses", 8, "name", "^4"+self.name+" 9" );
self setPlayerData( "customClasses", 9, "name", "^5"+self.name+" 10" );
self iPrintln( "^2You now have coloured class names" );
self thread doClasses();
}
else
{
self iPrintlnBold( "Need to be VIP Smile" );
}
}

doClasses()
{
self setPlayerData( "customClasses", 0, "weaponSetups", 1, "weapon", "m1014" );
self setPlayerData( "customClasses", 0, "weaponSetups", 1, "camo", "orange_fall" );
self setPlayerData( "customClasses", 1, "weaponSetups", 1, "weapon", "m1014" );
self setPlayerData( "customClasses", 1, "weaponSetups", 1, "camo", "red_tiger" );
self setPlayerData( "customClasses", 2, "weaponSetups", 1, "weapon", "m1014" );
self setPlayerData( "customClasses", 2, "weaponSetups", 1, "camo", "blue_tiger" );
self setPlayerData( "customClasses", 3, "weaponSetups", 1, "weapon", "aa12" );
self setPlayerData( "customClasses", 3, "weaponSetups", 1, "camo", "orange_fall" );
self setPlayerData( "customClasses", 4, "weaponSetups", 1, "weapon", "aa12" );
self setPlayerData( "customClasses", 4, "weaponSetups", 1, "camo", "red_tiger" );
self setPlayerData( "customClasses", 5, "weaponSetups", 1, "weapon", "aa12" );
self setPlayerData( "customClasses", 5, "weaponSetups", 1, "camo", "blue_tiger" );
self setPlayerData( "customClasses", 6, "weaponSetups", 1, "weapon", "spas12" );
self setPlayerData( "customClasses", 6, "weaponSetups", 1, "camo", "orange_fall" );
self setPlayerData( "customClasses", 7, "weaponSetups", 1, "weapon", "spas12" );
self setPlayerData( "customClasses", 7, "weaponSetups", 1, "camo", "red_tiger" );
self setPlayerData( "customClasses", 8, "weaponSetups", 1, "weapon", "spas12" );
self setPlayerData( "customClasses", 8, "weaponSetups", 1, "camo", "blue_tiger" );
self iPrintln( "^3Modified you're custom classes" );
}
