Click on "Create App" and fill in the blanks. +2. Select the "script" radio button. + The "about url" is just information. + The "redirect uri" isn't important and can be something like http://localhost. +Under the name of the app it should say "personal use script". +Underneath you should find your client id. +Put the client id in the first line of a file titled ".client" in the same directory as "Changer.exe". +You should find the client secret as "secret". +Put the client secret in the second line of the ".client" file. +You're good to go!
