[MOD Tools - Image Resizer] The Basics you will need

[merlin777 4]

Here are the recommended (by me) tools you will need to mod files or just change some numeric values/true/false in config files. Let's begin.

 

If you don't like some of the tools like 7zip, you can use winrar however, with being a coder for many years not just gaming, i recommend 7zip amongst winrar. 7zip is faster, lighter, safer and accurate. Winrar is heavy and slow and sloppy. Tools are very important to the user, much like regular tools are for plumbers/electricians. they all have a system standard of tools they all agree upon - you will never see a Good Mechanic with tools from Harborfreight tools company. You will see Craftsman, Snap-on and Husky. Likewise goes for computer users/coders. To each his own. But universally there is a standard.

 

1. Notepad ++ //This is better than notepad or wordpad because it organizes everything neatly and has coding functions. This is the tool most PHP programmers,Java,HTML,CSS use to get things done. This is your best friend.

 

2. 7-zip //the best open source free full use of program that does more than unzip. It's features have never been topped by any software yet.

 

3. Cpbo and Pbo managers. There are two inconsistencies. That is how they unpack and pack pbo's. Both sides of the users agree the other is crap lol. So this you will learn as you use it. Personally i find Cpbo to work for me. Others find PBO manager to work better. And vice versa. How you choose is up to you and how it works for you. i included both links.

 

4. ImageResizer for Windows. You will need this right click context added tool to your windows to resize images you create for your loading or splash screen. It is by far the simplest and fastest tool to use. It is also extremely convenient and safe. I will also include an attachment incase the link in the paragraph does not work.

 

5. Avast antivirus. Probably the fastest lightest most secure system out there that allows Real Time private browsing and free internet protection. It also lets you put it on silent gaming mode so you are not disturbed. Keep using the free version it works best. Also if you sign up with avast, you can post links to your account on Facebook or wherever, and if you get 7 people to download and install it, you will get 1yr Free Full program protection. 14 gives you 2 years and I believe some 21 gets your 3 years. THATS A DEAL I WOULD NOT PASS UP!
