Hello
ok now I know how to put skins onto my tank all I need to know is how u mod. I install modwizard onto my mac than it says choose application where do I put it plz help I'm sure if I get some help I can figure out how to do the next things.
Thx for help Des :)
p.s if I can't figure out how to do it I will come back here.
thx again Des :)

Installing ModWizard:

1. There should be a folder that you downloaded called "Help" along with other folders. Put all the files that are in the "Help" folder in to this location: thinktanks/contents/resources/client/help/ (these are additional in-game help pages for the ModWizard.

2. There is another folder that you downloaded called "client", put all the files in that into: ThinkTanks/contents/resources/client/scripts/ (these are the preferences and a script to control the hotkeys)

3. Another folder that you downloaded is called "server" folder into: ThinkTanks/contents/server/scripts/ (I'm pretty sure that path is right im not sure though because im not on a mac)(this is the main script)

Now look for a file called main.cs Depending on where you got the actuall game it will be in a different place. It will probably in the main thinktanks folder though.: ThinkTanks/main.cs.

4. Open up main.cs with a text editor (again im not on a mac so im not sure if this is completely correct) it should be something like right clicking on it and click "open with" and then choose notepad. Now you should see alot of jibberish. Scrol down until you see these lines (It's around at the bottom of the file)

// Display an error message for unused arguments
for ($I = 1; $I < $Game::argc; $I++) {
if (!$argUsed[$I])
error("Error: Unkown command line argument: " @ $Game::argv[$I]);
}

5. Right after the "}" add a space then add the following lines:

// ModWizard
exec("game/server/scripts/ModWizardMain.cs");
if (!$Server::Dedicated) {
moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "m", "", "exec("game/client/scripts/ModWizardBindings.cs");");
}

(copy and paste them to avoid mistakes)

Now it should look like this.

// Display an error message for unused arguments
for ($I = 1; $I < $Game::argc; $I++) {
if (!$argUsed[$I])
error("Error: Unkown command line argument: " @ $Game::argv[$I]);
}

// ModWizard
exec("game/server/scripts/ModWizardMain.cs");
if (!$Server::Dedicated) {
moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "m", "", "exec("game/client/scripts/ModWizardBindings.cs");");
}

6. Save that file. (you can always simply delete these lines to remove the script from ThinkTanks)

7. Read through the rest of this page and familiarize yourself with the keys. (if you need to change them, there is information on this lower down)

8. Now fire up ThinkTanks itself and create a server. Make sure there are no bots, and set a password so that people don't come in and interfere. The ModWizard will not work if there is anyone else in the server.

9. Once in the new server, simply press M and the script is activated. Pressing M again, will deactivate it.

Thank you sersh u r my number 1 person for things I will try and then I will come back here and telll u how its gone.

.....Copied from the "Utilities" Section....

Wow, im suprised at how he acts sometimes!...lol ;)

Actually if you noticed I edited it a whole lot
Basically the only rules I used from util were 6 7 8 9 and the controls

I did what u said and it don't work wierd plus u forgot the ThinkTanks/contents/resources <(u got that bit) >(u forgot the game bit) Thinktanks/contents/resources/game/client/help so on have I done it right?

If it helps any the "help" folder that you d/l isnt really needed. Make sure you dont put the actuall folder called "server" into the server folder, just put the files that were in the "server" folder you downloaded, into Thinktanks/contents/resources/game/server/scripts folder. Confusing I know but to be able to mod you need to be able to understand this kind of crap. ;) Same goes with the "client" folder you downloaded. Put all the files that were in the client folder that you downloaded in to Thinktanks/contents/resources/game/client/scripts.

The main.cs thing is also really important you need to make sure everything is in the right place. Otherwise it cant execute the files. Hope this helps! %)

I'll try it I think it will help but anyway I will come back and see if it works.

Here I'll Put It Like This, Make You Main.cs Look Like This.
