Back then, I thought it was a mystery that the graphics are all located in the sprite-folder and when you edit those, you’ll see the result in-game. These were the first beginnings of trying to understand how the game works. Pretty basic stuff at that time, I know. The dat-files were a mystery for me at that time, as I had no program to open them. I became bored and quit LF2.
3 years later, I re-discovered the game on my computer. I played it once again, remembered the cool experiences I had and started to look again for a way to open the dats. I stumbled over the DCer a bit later and began to mess around with the dat-files. Having no knowledge those days almost made me to quit once again but I discovered self-made characters on the web. They were usually just basic modifications of the original characters but I still liked it, as they were different. I checked out the dat-files and noticed some changes (mainly the injury-values, they were usually multiplied by 1000. I didn’t understand the rest). I went back to the original LF2 and edited the dats a little, too. Just increasing the injury-values is not something hard to do but it was my very first attempt to do DCing and so I was very proud of myself. I knew that by altering just one value in a 2000-lines-dat-file won’t be enough in the future.
