No one has a source. However a guy who the WA! community calls "H" has the "real" page editor for the game that allows you to edit pages. You can't however create new ones. I myself have the game and can still access the P2P client (it is used by IRC). People still play it every day though it is the same faces and nothing new really happens.  |

your layout makes it impossible to read your post without highlighting (or turning your layout off). Use common sense when making a post layout plzkthx
Anyway the download on the page just had a setup file... so I doubt it includes any source... so knowing any specific programming language won't really matter. I don't know if the download was what you said it was... you were talking about a WWE game, this is called Chron X or something. Are you sure that's the right link?
Anyway... without the source.. this is more in the realm of hacking rather than programming. I don't have much/any experience in the area of PC game modding, so I can't be much help to you here. |

Here is some of the info i gathered on it:
2001 THQ and Genetic Anomalies, Inc.
Original Gameplay Design by Blue Sky Red Design
http://www.blueskyred.com
Contains software based on the work of the Independent JPEG Group. Contains the RSA Data Security, Inc MD5
Message-Digest Algorithm. Crypto++2.1 cryptographic library by Wei Dai, www.eskimo.com/~weidai
Not sure if this helps any but there it is. |

Is the source to this game released, or are people hacking the binaries? If you have the source, it's most likely C or C++. |

WWE With Authority! still runs on a P2P client. I just stopped playing myself. If you want to get the download and meet the people (actually they are rude) then go to: http://www.waforums.net |

Well the game was originally called WWF With Authority but has stopped production years ago. There is a branched off version but they havent created any updates since the shutdown. Thats why i want to do this to create some new spins on this game. |

A game like a PC game? If you have the source, you'll need to know whatever language the game was coded in (likely C/C++). If you don't have the source... then changing the engine is improbable (I suppose it is possible, but it probably ain't gonna happen).
Or if you're just looking to change stuff the game uses (like graphics... possibly map layouts, sound effects, other misc data), you might not even need programming knowledge at all. Sometimes this stuff is stored in seperate files along with the game and can be edited via a hex editor (not unlike ROM hacking -- only it can be significantly more complex depending on the game). |

You'd probably want to search for the game engine on the web. When you have it, I guess you'll be able to do something with it.
Or you could always tell us what the game is and I guess I could tell you. |

My apologies for not being specific. I wanto enhance a certain game i have but i need to learn how to code before i do. Im not sure what is used with the game. Like i said, im really new to all this. |

I must insist that whatever you do... avoid VB like the plague. Pick up a free C compiler (gcc perhaps), dig up some C tutorials for beginners and get cracking. The hardest part is learning how to use the compiler ;P
You'll probably have to start with console programs with C at first until you get familiar.. .then you can move to traditional Windows programs. |

Yea...
Basically on the same line as everyone else.
Do you want to learn a script language like PHP, a real programming language like C++, or something else like HTML? |

Well you need to be a little more specific; do you mean web coding such as html or programming such as VB? Either way I always find Web Monkey to be a great help with almost anything like that. |

Ok So what do you want to start with? HTML? Visual Basic? |

I know nothing about coding but want and need to learn so any help or advice would be awesome.
