Demonsss : basically no one can show you how to mod. We can give you tutorials about how certain things work. But you need to take the sub by the horns (see what I did there?) and go through the files. Both the stock files (I recommend a backup) and what is changed from a mod. that's what I did.

You take the base line .. you look at whats different .. you already know the result from the change and this gives you info on how the files work. Then you decide on what you want to do. You ask yourself .. is there anything similar?? if there is you look at what they did .. and you experiment .. and test and ETC ETC .. until your sick in the face and you have a mod.

YAY

Yup, pretty much. And as stated earlier in the thread, be prepared to be exiting the game, and restarting it, ALOT. Modding often involves, repetition and tedium when trying to lock down some setting for a desired effect.

Also, be prepared to have an idea on something, chew on, hash it out for a week or three, only to see your idea fall flat on its face and abandon it.

Start small, why not do a little crush depth mod? Accurately change some of the crush depths of the subs ;] I do know the VII/40 is way off....
