how do you learn online game hck? theres so less resource to learn it. but i seee hackers everywhere. where do i look for the tutorials?

Usually you would join a group and bring your skills with you and work on said project etc.

I don't really see the word hack used very much anymore, we use mod almost exclusively now as it refers to changes made, modifications. Hacking is more used for gaining unauthorised access. However a altered game is also called a hack when uploaded on here. I am now not so sure what the preferred nomenclature is.

It's not so much resources to learn, but instead you bring your knowledge of either programming or some sort of 3d graphic design to work on textures etc.

Some are self thought and doing it as hobby, others self thought and are doing it as a profession, much like anyone that has a computer science degree and also working in industry, could in their down time help out with textures for a mod for an emulator for example. Many come from different backgrounds but have similar skill sets depending on what they work on, a pixel artist is like gold dust these days compared to a 3d artist for example

how do you learn it? where can i find the resource to learn? i have been searching like madman.

Dude I do hack and mod stuff but it's usually specific to the video game console and the game itself so you gotta study the video game console and the game itself for every mod idea you have.

For example you can find tools for "how to change model and texture files for Nier Automata" and thus you get tutorials for such stuff. Usually popular and modern games have their own Discord server (online chatroom) that people share tutorials and even answer your questions if you kindly ask or they ban you lol. Other than specific Discord servers that you can find on Reddit usually Gamebanana has tutorials for how to mod games.

For example when I wanted to develop an outfit mod for my Astral Chain character, what a coincidence the Nier Automata modding community helped me a lot!!!! lol

Popular video games still have modding communities on Discord servers like even Radiata Stories for example.

As for hacking, usually people uses the magical program "Cheat Engine". Learning how to use that and playing with it yourself will enable you for basic hacking. So learning it you can also gain necessary knowledge on how to use PCSX2 (PS2) emulator to hack PS2 games and do whatever you want. I played with Cheat Engine so much by just looking at bytes I can see a blonde wearing a red dress or Nissan Fairlady Z S30 lol. I can say I have to use my own understanding and experience I gained via many trail and error approach to play with Cheat Engine and debuggers to hack games. It's usually in the way making a search for what bytes change and what doesn't change, and test changed bytes to make the game react in the way you want.

As for real deal hacks and modding sometimes you have to develop your own tools for it, then you gotta learn programming languages like C and C++. Also learning assembly language will help. You may even have to study how CPU works to hack some older video game console games. For even simple texture swap you may have to learn how the video game console works especially if it's old to make the change happen without crashing your game. For example I had lots of hard time swapping texture of the player character of Dragon Quest VIII on PS2 by just changing his clothes to black. Without the DQ modding community I seriously would have to spend years figuring out what goes wrong lol.

To be of further assistance, you'll probably want to give us a more specific term than just "hack" - what EXACTLY are you seeing and wanting to recreate on your own?

Cheats, and trainers, is not modding. Dunno why kids these days use modding for cheats and probably go around saying they cheated big titty anime women into oblivion.

Depends on what game you want to make a mod for!
Here are some places to start for you:

Pokemon Emerald has some pretty easy to use tools for making a ROM hack that you can find online from the pokecommunity that basically turn the game into RPG maker. If you need any information on scripting for the tools they provide they have forums there that usually have answers to any questions you can come up with.

If you want to mod a Unity game there are some tools out there like MelonLoader which will help get the code into VisualStudio (or whatever IDE you use for C#). Learning here is cool because pretty much any C# tutorial will apply here since you're directly altering the code and C# as a language is popular enough that there should be tutorials on youtube for anything.

A Hat in Time actually comes with a version of Unreal Engine 3 specifically built to make custom levels! Any questions as to how UE3 works can be found on UE3 forums or Hat in Time documentation online!

Anyways, I hope this gives you a starting point to start making your dream mod or at least point you in the direction to find out what you really want to do with gaming.

it's not quite like that. there are resources inside the groups you know. custom made tools and fcking everything you could possibly need. there's just isn't a way to contact them. plus i am talking about online game hacking.

you know what i do know a bit about cheat engine . i have hacked online game with if its called freefire. i can do health search or unlimited money. but i haven't still done the pointer one that's like permanent. so yah & also i have hacked it with lua engine too.

Ah! Sorry, I thought you were asking how to make rom hacks.
First of all, the hackers you're seeing everywhere probably don't actually know how to make the hacks they're using and they're instead downloading someone else's scripts.
If you want to try making your own- I wouldn't recommend it, but a relatively common method currently is to use an overlay that will act based on what is on the screen since a lot of games now don't hold all of the information client side, like league of legends. If you're looking for guides on how to do that you're probably going to have to learn it the way you learn to make anything cs related, by breaking it down into smaller problems that already have solutions, in your case: how to create an overlay that takes in data from a given application, how to detect specific objects in a scene, and how to have your script execute a macro given the information passed through it.
Good luck!
