ok when u go to options, theres a credits thing. How do u make/add ur own version of that to have ur modding team?

*edit* - nothing is worth shouting about in these forums... unless FL 2 is on the way that is. Please don't use all caps as a subject header... or majority caps.

Omg. What are you doing? The credits are like every other text in FL stored in a DLL. In this cause it's the MisctextInfo2.dll in the FL EXE Subdirectory. Search there for Digital Anvil and you'll find the desired information.

First of all, go to the kitchen and make yourself a large cup of hot black coffee, put 2 sugars in it, and take your time and drink it - slowly.

While you do that, convince yourself that you are really really tired and in need of a very good holiday by the sea, with no PC in sight, for at least a week.

'Cos you ARE and you DO!

So then - go and do it!

'Cos when you come back and read this post again, it doesn't say anything about opening any exe files. Just get FL-id-Referrer 1.06 and ResHack, and go open the .dll that burzelman told you, which is in the FL\EXE Folder. Then you can go mess up your game really easily - just keep all the original names in the creds as a small gesture of compassion for the work they did do.

On the other hand, if you mean you ALSO want to screw up some .exe files, just to make sure, then go get a Hex Editor and a decompiler and go play!

Heheheheh.

Keep on plugging!

Roleplay: - the art of self-deceipt!
