Okay guys, I'm giving up. I need help. (General help.)

[TheSlyder]

I decided that I'd really enjoy modifying SRB2, but upon looking into it, I can't seem to get started. Yessir, I've read through the wiki. Yes, I've also looked into Doom Builder.

There's just so many terms that go over my head, I'm having a lot of trouble just figuring out what to do first and what direction to go in. I'm wanting to re-do artwork for cutscenes and whatnot, but can't figure out how to extract the images from the .wad files to do so.

I'm wanting to remake textures for the game, but again, don't really know how to persue this.

What would you recommend for someone who's pretty ignorant of programming, compiling, and all that other fancy-pants vidya game stuff? (Other than "Go to the wiki.")

Your not gonna like this but....
recheck the Wiki.
It has it there.

See.
All your SRB2 needs are on the wiki.
Exept "If the computers rise and the game tries to kill me, how do I shut it off?". That isn't covered in the wiki.

Put it in suggestions, then!

Geez.... as if we don't know what to do in that situation....HMS123311.

If you need to know the lumpnames and markers and such, gocheck srb2.srb. Wadfile in disguise, it contains everything you'd ever need to replace.

That's actually a big help. I've spent plenty of time looking in the wiki, but I only looked in the "Editing" column on the main page, and there was a lot of information left desired.

 

[Rob]

Oh? If you could specify on what is needed, it could be added.

 

[hypershadow96]

To tell the truth I agree with you I cant even understand the wiki!!!

Great, but why can't you? What's wrong with it that needs fixing?

This kind of information is sorely needed in order to make it useful. Just telling me that "It doesn't make sense!!!!!!" won't fix the problems.

What's wrong with it that needs fixing?

Computer with metallic arm + temper = huge problem. My advice: run.
