So here it is. Yes, it is always good to get some infomations from others who had dont this befoure, so you cound see if you where going the right way, or you where instead on the wrong path. > Would it be better to strip ROM down to just a bar > bones versoin of itself (e.g., Races, Classes, and > just the structures for everything else with no > content) and build and add as needed based on the > world that you are trying to create Might be a good way, but i cant seem se why!! Alot of what you might changes or add will proberly depend on somthing you have only half finnished, and btw. it is a hell of a job. If you still wants to go this way, why not just look at how the sign.c code works and do it all from scratch? > Would it be better to add and build based on what ROM > has and change accordingly, keep in mind if you remove > one feature that the stock ROM has you'll be changing > things in every file for a while ( I know, I've been > doing it for almost a month now) This is what i do, and i like this way to much. > I think both have their strong points, though it might > be a bit more difficult with the first option, because > you would need to know the code fairly thoroughly, I dont think thats the word to use.

Thats right, but you still need to know somthing here other than grep, or else you spend to much time looking for something there is right in front of you. > Well, I was bored and started to seeing code in front > of my eyes when I wasn't even looking at the monitor Like i hade it Once or Twice. 8=) > so I thought I'd post this.
