Modding Help

Hi. I�m a student that has limited recourses that deal with gaming and modding games. I only have the demo Version of Dungeon Odyssey, because I cant find, nor get it off the net.
I want to be a game developer and have been looking at the text files in Dungeon odyssey. I�ve tried to make my own mod...and failed in the first 5 mins. All I did was change the ModuleData.txt file. I changed the name and Description lines, just to see if I actually changed anything. And my computer glitches.
So, here i am, i ask for help from anyone that can aid me. (Btw, all I did was copy the data and tiles folders into a new folder)
Please help me, i want to peruse my goal of becoming a game developer, and I hope that Dungeon Odyssey might help me get a bit closer. Thank you.

There is a modding document that explains all the whats and hows of modding. It comes with the full Version of the game. I'm not sure if it is included in the demo Version, but I would be surprised. There is also a tile editor and other tools that come with the full Version.

btw: What do you mean when you say you can't find it on the net? Just go to the shrapnel Dungeon Odyssey page and click on the 'order' link. They ship all over the world.

Cheers!

What i ment by not being able to get the full copy of the net is, im only 15 and my parents just wont let me. After a while, i might talk them into it

Btw: Mr Gervias, the avatar emporium is absolutely amazing! I was looking at it Last night, and...wow...thats all i can say

Hey, Thanks for the link Mr.Gervais.
Im just downloading it now, hopefully none of it takes to long (gotta love 26.4k connection, heh)

Well, im going to try and figure the program out, and then work on getting the full Version of Dungeon Odyssey.

Thanks again...

No problem D.j.H I understand your situation for getting the full Version.

You want to learn some nifty tools that will give you a bit of a head start in the gaming industry?

Try,.. Anim8or It's a free 3D modeling package. It is a great introduction to modeling, and there are loads of tutorials available to help you learn the basics.

Cheers!
