Help/Support Flex 2 Questions (in-depth) + an additional Perl question and make a .deb (if possible)

Flex:

Okay, so as the title says, i have some quesions regarding Flex 2..

So, to start off, i'm not a completely noob with Flex, i have used it a few times, and managed to crack subscriptions for a several Vpn's and subscription-based apps. But i wanna know more about how it works, so it can speed up my efficency.

Question 1

Can Flex directly change a value in a game? Or does it have to be obtained through e.g a video ad?

Question 2

When i started patching with Flex, i saw in the tutorial that i have to aim for "bool" and "int" or "in (cant remember)"

I know that Bool is one of the best things to take advantage of, because it can simply just edit it to "true" or "false", but what is In / int? What does it do?

Question 3

Every time i patch a game, i see severals of libaries i can "process" after pressing "add units" (picture below). What is this? Is it some kind of "hidden libaries" that can be processed?

Question 4

Idk if its a "stupid" question, but im wondering what Flex is really capable of if a pro-scripter (lol name) uses it. Can someone with understandings of this, edit like .. "everything" in a game? Coins, values, looks etc.

.Deb question(s)

Okay, so i just started writing this, and i'm not sure if this will be more text than my Flex questions (hope not lol)

To start off, i would like to know how to make a .deb out of my results using Flex. Im not 100% sure, but if im right, i think its the same as "making a tweak", only using the exact same units as in Flex. (Correct me if im wrong lol)

But if im right, im pretty sure i need to have Theos installed. Yes, i have installed Theos

(Read my topic if you havent seen it, as i guess you havent) http://iosgods.com/topic/20721-need-help-converting-a-flex-patch-to-a-deb/

I think its installed correctly, i hope. I have also installed toolchain, and bigboss recommended tools + some other stuff i read on google

Okay, question one

In this topic about Theos on iOS, it says "to make sure Theos is installed on your device, run "echo $THEOS" with the output "/var/theos"

http://iphonedevwiki.net/index.php/Theos/Setup/iOS

When i ran the command, i only got a blank line? D:

Question two

I installed perl (from offiical repo), then installed Theos with something called "easytheos" install thing, it was a tweak from f4bul1z3r repo. That replaced my Perl, and now i have Perl installed from Hackyouriphone.. When i try to remove HYI perl, and install the official one, i get error after installing in cydia: "1st line: failed in buffer_write(fd) (8, ret= -1) 2nd line: Sub-process /usr/libexec/cydia/cydo returned an error code (1)

All is written in red

Btw, i have Cydown installed, and it looks like "cydo" is something shortened for Cydown. (Never experienced any trouble with Cydown before tho..)

Question three

When i ran /var/theos/bin/nic.pl , i got "error killed:9" , and i tried to understand the contents in topic below:

http://iosgods.com/topic/18225-how-to-fix-theos-killed-9-error-on-ios-9/

I feel stupid, but i dont understand what it means with "ldid -S 'which <command>'.. Like, im new to mobile terminal, and i dont know if "/var/theos/bin/nic.pl" is a command.. or.. yeah, i guess u understand lol.

So, easy: i hope for a "better" explanation for a noob

Question four

After what you've read above, you might get an impression that im stupid as a breadcrumb, but im not.. not that much at least I wanna learn to "make basic tweaks" for cydia. Not big and massive tweaks, but you know, something to start with.

I saw somewhere that i need to learn objective C , but can someone tell me "where" to start, and what i need to know / how much?

What more do i need to know?

Do any of you have a good starting tutorial?

___________________________________

First problem i need to solve, is perl. Right now i have none of them installed, which is a problem lol.

Thanks!

Games have "evolved" so 99% of games can not be modified with FLEX.

I believe you do this in teminal: "ldid -S '/var/root/theos/bin/nic.pl' or 'ldid -S $THEOS/bin/nic.pl'

People, who knows how to code, learned coding languages. For example, @ loves SWIFT (Or atleast I think he does ) and OBJ-C/C++.

Most of them learned by themselves, following tutorials from YouTube. Full knowledge of coding languages is a required shizz.

1. Yes.

2. Integers are number variables.

3. Other iOS Kits the game uses. For example lots of apps use StoreKit .

4. Depending on the security and how the game was written. Flex is not a real powerful tool though.

1. The command for Theos is /var/theos/bin/nic.pl for using the NIC templates.

2. cydo is not from Cydown. Uninstall the old perl first without having the other in the install queue and it should work.

3. You need the latest perl for iOS 9.

4. Here.
