Tsunami Posted December 25, 2002 Share Posted December 25, 2002 Blast, I just cannot find those fighters in the dlls. I REALLY have a blind spot there.Anyways, I extracted all those cool planet pics from XWA; they are usable in Rebellion without many problems. There still seems to be something wrong with the color (they look really weird in the game), so there is that. The big hitter is that the pics have to be of the same resolution as the originals, which is really crappy. If there were a way to make new slots in strategy.dll, we could ADD things instead of replacing, but I don't think that's possible. Sad thing. It's all hopeless but otherwise not very dramatic. - Helme Haffax Englishman: "What do you think of Modern Civilization?"Mahatma Gandhi: "That would be a good idea."

Guest JediIgor Posted December 25, 2002 Share Posted December 25, 2002 Actually, I read something in "Discovery American" (or whatever the name of the magazine was) about the "Next Ice Age." It said that the wind patterns were shifting, and because of that, the temperature will soon drop about 5 degrees celsius, and that will of course be catastrophic throughout the world. But maybe it's fake? Maybe if both that happens and global warming, it'll offset each other.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK421 Posted December 26, 2002 Share Posted December 26, 2002 Guys... stay on topic. Igor told me he has a nice plug in for PSP so he can make some planets if we wish...What about those combat mode planets? Anyone knows where to change them? Z'anthr saves the world. Sorry about the mess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted December 26, 2002 Share Posted December 26, 2002 Someone (methinks it was Mask) said they are probably the ones also used in strategy mode. Appears to be correct. A pity.There are also strange things going on with the colors. I resized a planet pic from XWA, but it shows only strange colors in Rebellion (and yes, I converted it to 256 colors). I noticed there is a lot of free space in the dlls, like strrefs not used by anything. It's a goofy idea, but we could fit some things in there. But since no one currently knows about where all the triggers are stored, it might be a problem to get this all into the game. Does anyone know how to edit all the files in the Gdata folder? All the text etc. is in the dlls, but the main engine with triggers and such things could be stored in there. When using rebed, the program changes some files in that folder, but I have not found any way to dig into them. My 'skillz' are lacking, though... It's all hopeless but otherwise not very dramatic. - Helme Haffax Englishman: "What do you think of Modern Civilization?"Mahatma Gandhi: "That would be a good idea."

Tsunami Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Hehe, got an idea.The planets maybe use the same color palette as the fighters (for which there is now a tutorial). This would explain why standard 256 color bitmaps show up strange in the strategy screen. It's all hopeless but otherwise not very dramatic. - Helme Haffax Englishman: "What do you think of Modern Civilization?"Mahatma Gandhi: "That would be a good idea."

the_mask Posted January 9, 2003 Author Share Posted January 9, 2003 I was mistaken on the small planet pics being used in tactical. vakundok said, he found the bmp data for the ring planet (should be Fornax) and that it used another palette than the fighters. He's working on it and will release it with a future version of his program Elvis, the fighter tutorial was available since I posted that I completed it. It's on top of the Rebellion section on my page. Yesterday I saw it in the downloads section of SWR, too. But only 4 downloads so far http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/5183/animated9pn.gifhttp://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1778/reloadedbannerdu8.gifhttp://www.swrebellion.com/images/banners/rebellionbanner02or6.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas_Fett Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Waitaminute! There's a quick reference guide for the dll's, and it's not available for download on the site here? "Lucy!! You have some 'splainin' to do!" Seriously, this would've saved me a lot of headache. Can anyone hook me up with a copy, since the aforementioned links appear to be defunct? Pretty please?

the_mask Posted February 14, 2004 Author Share Posted February 14, 2004 Well, this was among the first things done for the TC. I figured some reference would be the fastest way to find the locations for the stuff to insert. After this rough version, I wanted to have a more elaborate version, but it quickly turned out to be taking a lifetime to map these hundreds of entries and we gradually abandonded the idea. I just mailed it to ya and also added it to the downloads here. As the description says, it just gives you the direction, but that's better than nothing, eh http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/5183/animated9pn.gifhttp://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1778/reloadedbannerdu8.gifhttp://www.swrebellion.com/images/banners/rebellionbanner02or6.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas_Fett Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Many thanks, Mask! You know...how is it that you find the time to work these minor miracles for the game when you're constantly having to ride to the rescue of clueness noobs like me? Well, this still points me in the right direction. I'll just have to see about adding what I've mapped out so far, and get it back to you. Little by little, we may actually get this whole bad-boy done. Five of the Greatest Lines in the Star Wars Trilogy -"As you wish..."-"He's no good to me dead..."-"What if he doesn't survive?

Lord_La_forge Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Ummm.... back to the problem with the small planet pics. What is the main problem? If we have the bmp file, we can see the palette it is using too. I never worked with other palettes, than the one for the cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trejiuvanat Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Strategy.DLL uses a different palette than TACTICAL.DLL. The palette that you use for cards, is different from the one you use for fighter, ship textures and Planetary background in tactical... More than that I don't know. BTW, Tsun the files in the GDATA folder are the ones you edit with RebEd, Stats, and the like. http://www.swrebellion.com/~jahled/Trej/banner.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mask Posted February 17, 2004 Author Share Posted February 17, 2004 Many thanks, Mask! You know...how is it that you find the time to work these minor miracles for the game when you're constantly having to ride to the rescue of clueness noobs like me? Now you would never hear me saying "noob", cause true to the teachings of Confucius I think we are all learners throughout our lifes. But the answer is simple: I don't sleep I already tried editing the planets, but because I lacked a bright enough picture of Coruscant it came to a temporary halt. Editing them is easy, as far as I remember. vakundok already explained it in the release of his bmp converter. If you look at the palette from tactical, you'll notice some (about 86 I think), skin-colored tones. These are the ones you can use for planets. For each planet you need two bin files, one contains the planet image, the other it's palette. I don't remember the entry numbers at the moment (at work right now), but they should be somewhere above 5030, but it's all in vakundok's readme. So you just paint your planet over the reconverted, original image, to get the position, reduce its colors and convert it with the bmp converter to a .bin and a .pal file. The bin replaces the entry of the planet and the pal that of the, guess ... the palette. http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/5183/animated9pn.gifhttp://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1778/reloadedbannerdu8.gifhttp://www.swrebellion.com/images/banners/rebellionbanner02or6.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
