This one has pretty heavy nostalgia for me. Resedit is a big part of why I'm in software development today. My first forays into "hacking" were to use Resedit to modify some nagware to skip the pay screen. It was a definite peek behind the curtain moment that made me much more curious about computing.
- jwells89 2y agoIt’s significant to my dev roots too. I had both the OS itself as well as several apps customized, with the most extensively modded being a totally rebranded Netscape Communicator with custom iconography. I also used it to mod games, doing things like changing sounds something silly or replacing 2D characters with pixel-versions of my siblings. It was always a bit disappointing to come across the odd program (usually cross platform stuff) that had little or nothing that could be edited in ResEdit.
- saberience 2y agoSame for me, my first foray was making changes to the game Escape Velocity using ResEdit, then I used it on anything and everything, then as soon as official modding support came out for games like Myth, Doom, Marathon, etc, I starting making mods, and then it was coding and so on. :)
- sitharus 2y agoSame! Escape Velocity and its sequels were at a very important point of learning software development for me. I didn’t get in to game dev, but being on the ambrosia software IRC server taught me a lot of things.
