Changing Software's Original purpose

I was wondering if anyone knew what it takes to alter a certain softwares visual and possibly basic rules of the software. Like having certain things in a Game be there automatically. What needs to be done to execute like all weapons or invisible while playing. besides typing it in should it be done while the game is loading the initial parameters you see when you hit ~? Where do you alter those start up parameters to make these things happen without pressing ~ and typing it in.

Well if it's an open-source game then you have to go into the code and change it.
Otherwise if it's a game you paid for it might go against the EULA to change the program in anyway.
 
you cant get into the code of a program that has already been comilied, well there are some decompilers out there but they are crap.
If its open source then you can download the code yourself, but i cant think of any real games that are open source.

I dont mean to be rude, i really dont. But i dont think you really know what code means. The syntax code you see in programs like c++, vb and the likes is totally lost once the program is comiled, its all transfer right down into assembly code. this is pretty advanced stuff in programing terms
 
i agree with Apj, i know what the OP wants, he probably wants to get in the code, get those characters/model/vehicles or whatsoever and change them to his liking.
but thats something real hard, am no programmer or anything but just by the sound of it, if i were you i'll leave it as is.

edit : you can't really change anything (merely) in a game via registry.
 
Occassionally you can apply control switches to startup, but you'd have to know what they are and they often don't apply to cheats. You could also check as some games have developers kits like CounterStrike and Oblivion.
 
addle brains I'll be honest with you I have been playing call of duty 1.1 online and almost everybody is cheating and I just want to even the odds a little the 1.5 version uses punkbuster but the 1.1 is free game. But if you type in the cheat when you hit ~ it doesn't work I am not sure how these guys are cheating but I know they are and some of them are able to kill other people on their own team when nobody else can just curious as to what they are actually doing to gain the added abilities.
 
As the others have already said, you can't modify a game's source code. What you're reffering to is inputting predifined cheats into a console (like in CS) which were programmed by the programmers of the game so that you can alter some of the game's properties. I'm not sure how you do it in call of duty, type it into google and you'll probably find it. I'm not sure if COD has a console but it would have some similar method of inputting cheats.

so you are wanting to load up all the settings and stuff the way you like it automatically?

is that right?

i create a cfg for when i play enemy territory. then i execute it and it loads up all the settings the way i want. so i dont have to go change them all manually.

is that what you mean?

*edit* or you want to load up say: god mode, invisibilty, unlimited ammo and stuff automatically with the game? i doubt that will be possible

lol i dont really know that much about it. because i dont know really what you want it for. and they differ from game to game.

perhaps tell me what exectly you want it to do and ill see if i can help
 
Nothing about adding code to a game is basic. Something basic would be things in Visual Basic like..

messagebox.show("Hello World!","Title",MessageboxButtons.yesno) ... or

txtBox.text = "Hello World!"

or html

<html>
<head>
<title>This is the webpage title</title>
</head>
<body>
This is the body
</body>
</html>

none of its simple, and you can't just take apart a game anyways. The registry gives.. well basically data saying stuff is registered. If you go into the program files and are expecting to be able to edit stuff there, you cant because its already compiled from code, into a compiler and out as a program. You can't reverse it. However you can use things like hex editors, or make programs in c# and other programming languages to edit information loaded in the gaming engine, however thats not simple either. If you really want to though look up how to program in Visual Basic 2005 and expect to be spending at least a month getting a handle on how to use the language.
