How To Test ‘Work In Progress’ Mods Without Restarting Combat Arms

Have You Ever Been Making A Mod But Are Annoyed At The Process You Have To Go Through Each Time You Want To Test It?

Normally You Have To:

Inject
Rename .RezNEW File
Paste Into Game Folder
Start CA
Test Mod
Close CA
Repeat Every Time You Change Something

Well, Now You Can Eliminated Almost All Those Steps With This Tutorial!

Extract The Rez File(s) You Want To Mod
You Should Now Have A Folder With The Same Name As The Rez; Make Sure Its In Combat Arms/Game
Move Or Delete The Rez File(s) That You Extracted
Instead Of Injecting Files Into A Rez File, Just Paste The Files Into The Folder
Start CA And Test Your Mod
Return To The CA Lobby
Minimize CA [Alt+Tab]
Edit Your Mod And Do What You Need To
Paste The Newly Fixed/Edited Files Into The Extracted Folder (From Before)
Bring Up CA Again
Join A Game
Test Your Mod Again
Repeat Until Not Needed Any More

You Can See That The Following Steps Have Been Eliminated:

Injecting Rez Files
Renaming The .RezNEW File
Starting And Closing CA Every Time

I hope this helped you guys out a lot!
It May Appear That There Are More Steps, But There Really Isn't, I Was Just Being As Descriptive As Possible.

why me .

So if Combat Arms can't find the REZ file, for example, GUNS_T_PV_AR, it will instead read the folder called GUNS_T_PV_AR?

i dont get this... im sorry

your main duty is towards the rez mods section, and you are the only mod that i saw on, or at least recently active.

if you don’t like it, quit. don’t complain about having to do your job.

So do I, I can't Make An Unorganized Release.

I also have a problem where I think everybody is a complete moron, so I always think I have to explain everything. If I don’t choobs will ask questions on how to do something.

Maybe a few pictures and a video would help...-.-
