Modding The Bible (on Steam)

Presented by Stingy

What is the Bible?

  • 5 freedom bucks
  • On Steam
  • Has quizzes
  • Has translations
  • Developed by Bible Games

The Bible is coded in Ren’Py, and is very easily moddable.

How to Mod??

  • Asset swapping
    • Insert your own files into the game and it will just load them
  • Direct Injection
    • Modify the python scripts to run your own code

Demos

  • Can swap out fonts
  • Menu music swapped out for The Entire Bee Movie
  • Bible translations are just Markdown files
    • Headers are Books
    • Header2s are Chapters
  • Quizzes are ALSO just Markdown files
    • Start a line with + for a right answer, - for a wrong answer
  • By modifying scripts you can make it access APIs and send data
  • VM shenanigans:
    • Used Bible modding and a netcat process to steal SSH keys from the VM. EVIL!!
    • Running inside Proton, but can access any host file with Z: drive
    • Inserting a python file without putting code in functions will just run that code on startup

After this we ended the presentation by going through the full networking quiz in the mod
