Ever thought if that power up was placed at a different position or ever wanted to own more bullets in your FPS or just want to squeeze more frames out of your game. Well now you can here is a simple tutorial to mod a game.

A game mod is a modification of a game that changes its properties. This how-to shows you how to customize your game with little or no programming.

STEPS:

• Locate the game folder, which is usually in "C:\Program Files\", and find common file types to replace.
• Use Notepad or another text editor to modify an .ini file (e.g. gunAmmo(26) to gunAmmo(255)). Some .dat * .cfg files can also be modified, but don't try it if you see a bunch of funny symbols
• Use Paint or another graphics editor to modify image files. These include files with the extensions .bmp (bitmap), .gif (Graphics Interchange Format), .png (portable network graphics), and .jpeg (Joint Photographic Experts Group), among others. Usually these image files are textures to be mapped to certain surfaces or pictures to be used on the game's intro or setup screens.
• Replace .wav (wave), .mp3 (mpeg3), and .ogg (ogg vorbis) sound and music files with your own. These are audio files that are used for music tracks or sound effects inside a game.

TIPS:

• Learn a bit about programming, variables, and hexadecimal. This will help in editing files.
• .ini files, though they are very useful for game modding, are rarely seen, because programs these days now store their configuration settings in the Windows Registry.
• Use google to find mods for your game. There are usually whole websites devoted to modding games. They also (sometimes) have special tools and forums.
• For fun you can replace the .wav files with your own recordings, so for an explosion you just blow into a mic for half a second, or gargle a very small amount of spit.
• Replace audio files with appropriate sounds. This keeps the game and the actions you performed relative to the sound itself. For example, it wouldn't be very realistic to hear anything other than an explosion when a missile strikes a building.
