A Help for an Rookie Modder
 

Hello
I'm new here in this forum
and i want to create a MOD for GRIM
but i don't know anything about Grim Fandango Modding
i want to learn to modificate the GRIM
someone can teach me?????
or send an tutorial or anything
BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS: Sorry for my BAD english:D

I don't know if this applies to anyone else here, but I'm not sure exactly what you are asking about? Do you want to moderate something? What do you mean by MOD?

I think he means modification, which I guess applies to stuff like changing the character models, textures, etc.

I don't think this is really something anyone's done, so you won't find any tutorials. Not sure why you'd want to do it with Grim Fandango anyway.

well, I guess your est bet would be tinkering with Residual then, but it's not something you can learn through a simple tutorial anyway:P You need to learn coding in any case so good luck.

i know this
and isn't only coding
also modeling, texturising
i know this (modeling, texturising, average knowledge in debugging) but i dont know how to open the .lab archives to pick up the models and edit them
also i don't know what tools i need to edit the GRIM
i have here the 3ds MAX and i know to use
but i think only this isn't the sufficient

You can extract a lot from .lab files with ScummRev, but as to putting it back in again...

The same reason you want to do it with every game in existence?

Uberbob: Why?

And MenuET: I don't think it's going to be as simple as that, gf uses polygon models, if your goal is to do them in 3dsmax why not remodel the whole character?

i have an moderate experience in modding the other 3D games (like Grand Theft Auto and Worms 4 Mayhem)and i know GF uses polygon models, like any other 3D game.
and i have an idea how to Grim Fandango runs

"why not remodel the whole character?"

is exactly that what i make, for example, for make the new protagonist, i pick up the Salvador Limones Model, delete his face, make new face, and retexture his clothes, making an opened suit

i had drawn the new protagonist, but this is drawn in a notebook paper and i don't have an camera to take a photo:(

yes
