I'd like to start a new project, that aims to bring some life in this community again by modding Imp1 with minor changes. This 'Project II' is by far not as ambitious as the "current" 'Project I'. Features will be different sprites for the units of different countries and tweaking values and ressources for a greater depth in gameplay and a bit more historical accuracy (as far as this is possible). In the end, it should show up as a nice alternative to the original game. Since I have to learn programming from scratch, I'd be very greatful for any help from the community, be it advice or fellow programmers. Cheers, Sek |

And here come the first questions: I've been looking around, but couldn't find an answer on how to watch and change .scn, .map, .gob, .dat, .irg, .imp, .isu and .dll files. If I'm not wrong here, I need to do this to finally figure out how this game works and to know what I will have to change. Thanks in advance, Sek . Edited by Sekundus, Dec 23 2011, 07:09 PM.

Changes like that are exactly what I want to do: http://s1.zetaboards.com/Imperilist/topic/1305803/1/ I just lack know-how. Historical research and thoughts on how to progress are no problem then. Any help would be very much appreciated. Is knowledge in C++ enough to go? Cheers, Sek |

hm, I don't know if I can give you much help, but I can provide you the email addresses of some of our programmers and see if they can help you. I know that somewhere around the site was a link to a download which contained all resources of the original game. |

We need to pull information out of the Developer's Forums and publish it out here where people can get to it. Just as easy would be to promote him to the developer's team. |
