Methods on making codes
Written by TyROiiD
***********This IS not a tut on how to make codes, but the process you go thru to make codes**************
Lets begin
You will start most of the time out by pressing R once, going to [Searcher} and Pressing Find Uknown Value - 32bit
Now if you are tyring to make a inf time or inf stamina, or something that deals with time, you will go to [PRX] and Pause Game? *True*
And do you searching,
If you are trying to do a item mod
you will Buy, obtain a item search greater, then lose a item/sell a item the search less, repeat until you get good results
Expreimenting is a good way to find great things
You can make room mods by making a big room and searching greater then make a small room and search less, repeat until you have good results
Look at my coding guides for more info, how to do it, they all work on most games UNLESS it says a specific game/map
~~My closing Remarks~~
I wrote this for you guys, writting guides have been fun for me, i like helping you guys out, so please dont rip, BTW, im always here for you guys if you need a tut.
