Thank you so much for watching, and for all of the support throughout the production of this video! Part 2 will be posted shortly with a deep-dive of the included mod code. I'll be posting corrections/edits here in this pinned comment. Hope you enjoy!
I don't post much comment but just wanted to say that I really enjoy the content, no matter how much time there is between videos. I find it hard to find good reverse engineering content and your channel is a goldmine. Cheers for your amazing work !
Thank you so much for sharing this - I was just saying elsewhere to a viewer that sometimes after the research, writing, recording, and editing is done, I think “Maybe no one is actually going to enjoy this, and this was a waste…” and comments like yours keep me going ❤️
thanks for making these videos, great to see your process for doing this, you got me reinterested in RCT! just installed reshade and trying to improve the graphics, good times!
So glad to hear it - there will be another part as well (a deep dive into the code) but after the editing of this one, I’m taking a day or two off haha
I was super excited to see this pop up in my feed! Your last series motivated me to pop open IDA and finish a project I'd been putting off for too long. Looking forward to part 2!
Working on it as we speak! And that’s so good to hear - Likewise, your guys’ comments help motivate me through projects like this. Thanks for watching!
The way you dynamically calculate the dib and color palette locations reminds me a lot of how you can find offsets by using cheat engine's pointer map feature. Pretty cool seeing how you can calculate them without using cheat engine.
Thanks for sharing! CE is very inspiring for videos like this, as whenever I've played with it, I always find myself hypothesizing over how they make X or Y feature work haha. Thanks for watching!
That is the only way to enjoy these long-form vids - I have a hard enough time watching them in one sitting while editing them hahaha. And I’d like to actually do some more modern games; I’ve had a personal goal of doing more with UE 5.0 so I can learn more about it in general, and if I’m successful in learning even a little bit, I think it would be fun to explore what modern game modding entails and what protections are deployed against it. But I’m also about to have another kid, so we’ll see 😂
@@jeFF0Falltrades Oh I cannot imagine! I have made a fair share of videos, but not one of this length and such delicate editing. Very interesting. I have been reverse engineering my childhood game (Midtown Madness), and with roughly 8 binary files reverse engineered, I am quite deep in the process of making a City Editor. I have no idea how modern games are in terms of structure and complexity, so that would be interesting to see what you may encounter / figure out. Goodluck with that 😜
8:26 I don't understand why people watch reverse engineering or programming videos on a phone. It is imperative that reading code or assembly is going to be a lot easier on a larger display. People watching on a phone asked for it to be difficult.
8:50 tip: in your file explorer window, right click on empty space and click "group by" > "(none)". That will disable file/directory grouping by it's date. Also, you should probably create a dedicated projects folder on a (preferably external) drive, instead of just slapping it on to your downloads folder.
Thank you! And yeah, the directory tip is true best practice and words for the wise…when I’m working on something personal and unserious like this though, it always starts as a downloads subdir, and tends to stay there 😂 Thanks for watching!
Not yet, but I've added this to my running list of viewer-suggested topics for new videos! I agree that some kind of overview of various packers would be a great tutorial topic for an upcoming vid.
That’s so kind of you!! I do not have a separate site yet as I don’t feel comfortable enough yet to provide something on the levels of, say, Patreon, but you can leave tips via the “Super Thanks” feature on CZcams. Please feel no obligation to do so, and thanks just for watching! EDIT: I have since learned that some people prefer not to use Super Thanks for various reasons, so I also set up a Buy Me a Coffee link, which is on my channel now.
Thank you so much for this comment! Truly, it means so much that this community that has evolved around the channel is so gracious and kind ❤️ Maybe one day, but for now, I’m basking in the free knowledge sharing sphere we have here
jeff dropped another video lets gooo
I am so glad to share this one finally, and hope you all enjoy this ride haha; Thank you for being here!

I swear, you are RE gold, mate! The project is really cool and I enjoyed every second of the last video, and I bet this is gonna be even better!
I really hope you think so - thanks so much for being here and for the kind words man ❤️

your channel is a goldmine, thanks for sharing in such an educative way
Thank you so much and I hope you continue to get value out of it!
I felt like garbage, but I opened youtube and your video popped and I have to say you just made my day, I'm gonna enjoy every second of this
And you just made my day with this comment! I really hope you feel better, and that you enjoy this. Thank you for being here.
I was so bored with RE and this video sparks my interest again! Thanks for this great video!
So glad to hear that!!! Keep an eye out for more because I have a ton of fun making them :-)
thanks for making these videos, great to see your process for doing this, you got me reinterested in RCT! just installed reshade and trying to improve the graphics, good times!
That’s awesome! If you document that work anywhere, please send it to me! Thank you for watching!
Almost 3 hours of content, you really made my week, thanks!
So glad to hear it - there will be another part as well (a deep dive into the code) but after the editing of this one, I’m taking a day or two off haha
This is gold 😂😂😂
I hope you enjoy - it was a long road, but a ton of fun to make

Yet another great video from my favorite channel. Keep it up!

This is seriously the best RE content on youtube
That you think so means the world to me - thank you so much.
you are truly one of the best re content creators out there, every video is a joy to watch
That you think that means the world to me - thank you so much. Thoughts like this keep me going.
Great guide once again!
Thanks so much! I hope someone, somewhere, gets something out of it 😄
Great content! Subscribed
@@MeanMisterMustard Thank you so much and so glad you think so! Hope to have some new stuff soon 😊
2,5 hours? I will watch this in parts with some nice coffee.
Are there any other games you're interested in modding in the future?
That is the only way to enjoy these long-form vids - I have a hard enough time watching them in one sitting while editing them hahaha.

@@MidtownMadness1 Yeah definitely a lot more complicated than RCT hahaha.
We’ll see what happens

Haha, you’re not wrong - and yet, the number of those kinds of comments is far from zero ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Finally real content uploaded to YT
You’re a real one - thanks so much for watching 🙏
Weekend came early!
You guys are so nice hahaha - thanks for watching and for the kind words!
I love you jeff 😩❤
You’re the wind beneath my wings, Antony
love these kinds of videos, great stuff!
So glad to hear! Hope you have fun with it and thanks so much for watching!
This is amazing RE content!
Thank you so much! Truly hope you like it
Beautiful documentary. Thank you so much.

hi just wanna ask if you also have tutorials to reverse engineer packed software such as those protected by VMProtect.
Not yet, but I've added this to my running list of viewer-suggested topics for new videos! I agree that some kind of overview of various packers would be a great tutorial topic for an upcoming vid.
@@jeFF0Falltradesthanks for the reply!
Do you have a donation link? Would love to leave a tip
