How do I edit a Tekkit mod?

[bubub98]

When I say edit I mean change the code to make a mod, such as the mod for Quantum armor, and make it so the armor doesn't make the player god like. I just would like to lower the protection

don't bump your own post, It's bad form.

Anyway, if the mod provides a configuration file that has an option that does what you want, you can use that. Else decompile it, rewrite it and recompile it.

Edit: it is also possible to write a mod which alters the behavior of other mods, using reflection.

Thanks! Big help!

I wonder, how would I do that (in code)? Is it like "yourclassname overrides targetclassname" when you declare your class? Or something else?

Not very informed on reflection myself, but cloning the original class, making your changes, and rewriting all references from the original to the new one should do it.

Basically, reflection is the part of java that makes it act like the dynamic language it should have been. You tell the virtual machine, show me the internals of that guy's class, and then you go to work with a hacksaw and a sense of expirimentation.
