Help needed for modding
« on: April 30, 2016, 02:01:16 PM »

What i want to do is to edit the IBB missions in dark reverant's ship and weapons and put in boss fights with superships. Now i don't know java at all but since i know some languages i can find my way around the code.
The problem is that after contacting dark he said i need to recompile it in the jar? I think?

I can edit the java files that are in the mod but that seems to be not enough.

As i understand i have to make a .class? And then compile it into the jar?
Which i have no idea how to achieve. If anyone has the time and can put the effort to explain me step by step the how to i would be obligated.

Follow the instructions here:

http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=10057.0

.java files ----(compile to)----> .class files ----(get packed into)----> .jar archives ------(which get loaded from)----> the mod_info.json file

IntelliJ IDEA (the link I added) automates the compiling process, gives you hints/easy access to documentation, and makes your project idiot-proof once it's set up right.
