Your very first LF2 steps

[SparK]

Well... by the time I was playing LF2 (found on a magazine CD) there was no ADSL around here (or I had no money to get it)
I can't remember my age but it was something around 11 or 12
it was a really old version full of bugs (blue parts on the forest level)
me, my brother and friends never found out about DJA and we didn't realize all attacks started with D, so we never got LouisEx and the other guys...

something we really didn't know or could find was the lf2.net cheat, instead, as a good programmer (started with 8), I found the data.txt and copy&pasted the secret char lines and gave them new IDs, that way we could play them.

after a few weeks I stopped playing.

now after some years (I'm 18) I remembered the game and google'd for it.
I tought: "nobody will remember that game... it was published on that crappy magazine full of other games... and it's an old 2D game anyways..."
then i found lf2.net, then the official forums (which are empty) then on signatures of some posts i found lf2-global, and it sucked then on the sigs again and links redirecting to cool files and mods I found LFE.
When I saw the first link I tought: "dammit it's a .de, I really can't speak deutch properly!"
but clicked anyway, then surprise! the forum was in english! I'm lucky I played a lot of GTA so my english is almost as good as of a native speaker... XD

then I saw some really neat chars and mods that I tought would be impossible, cause I really never opened a .dat, they were encrypted.
I heard about DCing and downloaded the DC pack
looked at the code for controling each frame of animation and prossible actions from that frame and then I tought: "why it's never a programming language? always a type of script that locks you with the parameters the authors give you!"
so I decided to start making a char, to see how it would end... still I miss the "for loops", "ifs", "classes", "properties", "functions/methods", etc, etc...
then I heard people can decompile the .exe to assembler (ASM) and still be able to work with it, personally I only used ASM decompilers to unlock applications, make cracks, cheaters and stuff like that, nothing productive XD

anyways, I'm a programmer since I was 8 (started with flash 4), I can code C, C++, C# (certification, grade 6.4), Java, Javascript, PHP, ActionScript 2, ActionScript 3, Progress 4GL (certification, grade 8.2), LuaScript (WoW and GMod), PAWNScript (GTA:SA-MP server-side).
[off]Anything you guys need (from website widgets to cracks and source codes) I will see what I can do for you.[/off]

now that I came back to the game and have some more knowledge I will use it to, once again, play with this incredibly simple and fun game.
