Can I reverse engineer existing mods?

Recommended Posts

I'd love to be able to see how some of my favourite mods work. Some of them just need a little tweak to be perfect IMHO. However, when I look inside a mod all I see is mod_name.pbo?

Is there a way to open .pbo files so I can see the uncompiled code?

For your own PERSONAL use you can within reason do what you like with content released by third parties (i.e. the community). However, don't even attempt a release of the modified content without first getting full permission to do so from the original author(s).

There are several ways to do so, the most popular tools (as far as I would consider it) is Mikero's Tool Suite. Download pretty much everything off of there, install them and then you should be able to unpack and (more importantly) re-pack your PBOs.
