Illfonic Reshuffle - Official Twitter Post

#21

Well its not like Illfonic went bankcrupt! they just laid off some blokes!

#22

Yet. This will have a knock on effect

#23

no sdk needed. Just someone who will allow mods to get introduced onto nexusmods so that we don’t get a shit ton of spray painted skins from people who went into MS paint to do it.

We don’t need 100 new shitty skins from amatuers!

for a small company, that’s usually the first sign of going bankrupt

in big companies (over 500 employees) that’s usually no big deal, but when a small company cannot even afford their staff, that’s a big problem

Good news is that going bankrupt usually means selling assets. Maybe a good company will buy their games, or the whole studio, who knows.

They recently had a survey on social media asking what games they’d like to see more content from

Maybe this substantiates this theory

Are you able to unpack the game? This version?

#27

TLDR: no

The game can be unpacked by anyone from .pak files. However those are just assets (textures, 3D models, configuration, sounds, icons, etc.)

You need source code to make bug fixes or add features. Game source code is compiled to binary format (.exe files) and there is no way to get source code back from compiled binary.

I highly doubt they will ever release the source code.

#28

I can unpack

However we have not found a working tool that allows us to modify assets nor how to repack them successfully.

LMAO, shut up. You have no idea what the fuck you are talking about. None of the game files are actually contained on the exe file.

#29

What about the file that launches the game?

Checkmate.

#30

For sure you dumbass. 108 MB of executable code is responsible only for loading the .pak files and then some totally unrelated magic to SpaceFish.exe happens.

#31

This is technically untrue it’s just a real pain in the ass

You keep saying source code but I’m convinced you have near to 0 experience with UE, if anything they are more likely to release project files and assets with their plugin setup or even just project file with missing plugins

Let’s be real, you are a fucking idiot (no offense), you are talking to someone who actually has successfully modded the game and you have no true experience doing so yourself, you have messed up not only with interpretting FModel stats but additionally completely butchered knowing basic bugs you are desperately against, funny enough the very people you hate know more about subjects you can even hope to conceptualize on a basic level

Beer you and I will have endless conversations with brats here who know nothing about anything and demand something because they think they know everything.

End of discussion.Their only reason for having any reason to have one is probably boredom and lack of will to have knowledge gained through reading or searching for it.

Oh and they probabaly own 50 predator figurines and feel like they are entitled to have an opinion.

It need to be said because no one says it, also, I want the timestamp

Fine, two idiots who has zero experience with software development teach somebody who has over 20 years experience.

It doens’t matter what engine or framework you use to develop software, in this particular case the game. Illfonic develop the game in C++, the lines they write are called source code. That code is compiled to architecture dependent binary code also called executable (that is why the files have .exe extension). Pak files are just holders for all stuff needed outside the code, like textures, 3D models, configuration, sounds, icons, etc.

But whatever suits you best you dumbfuck. Good luck fixing and modding the game via pak files.

#35

Yep

Other people have the experience for this, you do not, having 20 years behind coding gives you no advantage here, while you were commenting and pretending to be a girl in discord others were figuring out how the game works even without modding involved, Jelou, me, or most of the people you hate knew much more in their first year playing to what you know now

Actually we don’t need luck, the testing was already done, that’s exactly what you do, fixing though, I probably wouldnt try that

Yeah yeah, testing was already done with zero results. What you modded? Textures, sounds, weapon characteristics? Well that are the assets in pak files as I already said. Just to give you something to thing about, why do you two clowns think you failed with 2vs6? Why do you think you weren’t able to invite more than 8 people to make 2vs8?

Try to add new weapon mechanics, new game mode, new character like alien just by modifying pak files.

Oh and you should also contact Epic and teach them about doing games in pak files. They must be totally dumb to provide C++ tutorials on their website.

#37

Really. You forget that we killed AstonDB90.

#38

LMAO, and guess what Cheat engine modifies…

#39

You are beyond words

#40

Nah, you just lost your arguments. Anyone who ever touched game development knows such basics.

As I said, good luck wasting your time messing with pak files. You are useless piece of crap IRL, you will be useless piece of crap in modding the game too.
