How did the wog team modify the game

[Pollo2002]

I was wondering how the wog team were able to modify teh game so much without the source code, somebody could explain me?

hex editor, i heard somewhere... but how did they know which hex to edit, i dont know.

Oh, the countless hours Slava must have spent in front of hex code, scratching his head, wishing he had the source code...

It's not even that simple.

But I'd assume he uses the same tools you would use to crack a game, break copyright protection, etc...

It's the same principal, instead of removing a CD check, or other copy-protection gimmick, he's adding features.

Regardless, wether he's using a simple hex editor alone, or an entire suite of hacking tools, it's an extremely involved process, and he's done an amazing job.
