But (sigh), even if it were possible to add new characters that way, I still wouldn't be able to because that's WAY beyond my knowledge, and trying to hack the CD would ruin my game for good.

So then how come so many other games get game mods, when they don't exactly all come with a user friendly "make your own characters and events" editor. People hack into them, right? I guess I don't know how it works.
Well, you can't hack the [B/CD[/B] as you can't write to it. And other games can be modded as they were built to allow such modifications - JJ2 was not. It never has been, it never will be, and it would just create incompatibility. And no, there is NO WAY TO HACK JJ2. Oh sure you could try, but tonnes have...like...oh, everyone who's tried before, Dethman I suppose, MetalWarrior and Ever maybe, say, Kaz and the people at J2HG, the 1.25 people...and yes, they are exceptionally knowledgable at what they do. The 'moddable' games you speak of include Unreal, which has it's oiwn coding language ala UnrealScript, Q3A, which also can be coded if the user knows some of the game code index values and C++...blah blah. No way.
