I've learned a great deal thanks to so many here and time spent digging around.
But all the info is scattered, makeing it hard to learn for most.
I do not have all the answers, but I think I can teach most anyone how it
all works, how to spot what you want, and what connects what.
What do you think?

I'm not a good writer, and the languaje barrier makes thing worse, but I'd be happy to contribute where I can.

I have no idea, and I’d like to learn so I don’t have to bother people asking them for files.

Ok, 1st we'll make sure we have some tools and such.

Pack3d all versions and some Guide info I've collected from various threads
are on my Filefront page.

Next is a Hex Editor. You may have a version you like but I'll recommend
you get the same one I use to make following along easier.

It's free and does not install into Windows so if you want to get rid of it
all you need do is delete it.

Once you have the files, create a folder that we will use to work in.
Go into the Library folder and copy the NavalMine.dat and Navalmine.zon
files to your work folder.

These are nice small files we will start with to learn our way around and
what a byte, dword, and other scary terms mean.

Yes, it will be online.
I'll just save the lessons as a reference anyone can grab at any time.

Oh, and yes, the newest version is 2.51
I've used it for years now and have never had any troubles
what so ever.
