There is a tutorial here on how to make and coustomize you're own loaders, a tutorial on how to change default
server music and lobby music to any song you want, and how to coustomise hacksheild's default loaders. So prepare
to get the monst in deapth tutorials, and trust me, these are all very cool.I even have a special little something
for those entusiastic fireteam users out there. So if you are very bored and have absolutly nothing to do and just
want to mess around with a couple of things with Combat Arms, this is the place to be.Every single one of my
tutorials will have to be redone with each Combat Arms update, this does not incude server updates, just client
updates.
Edit: I added a tutorial to edit game textures, worth trying when the hacks are down.
Edit #2:It's actually CHAR_T_(file name), sorry
Edit
#3Tutorial on how to take screen shots added!

Save the photo as a .jpeg in the same folder (yes to the overwrite, and save it in a backup folder in the HSheild

Do the same with hsupdate and save it as a Jpeg as well, but make shore you do not do as much as even touch the
black bar at the bootom, HS will load properly without the black bar, the rest is editable
Run HSUpdate and then see how you're themed Hacksheild looks

every step.)
