Question #1

 

This question is for the wisest and most insightful of Jedi:

 

How difficult would it be to have a short movie clip instead of just .BMPs in regards to the events in Rebellion?

 

(e.g. http://www.xwing.net/swvids/light.mov instead of what's in the game)

When did you guys first start using ResHack? You seem to be experts, but i don't understand half the jargon you're using, it's all double dutch to me! :(

I'm probably the lowest of the low-tech on this board, General Elvis. But I got so frustrated watching all the fun everyone else was having with the model replacement that I made myself read Mask's tutorial until I halfway understood it. Then I backed up my DLL's, and just got into RH and tried it. And low and behold, it works!

 

I also made a replacement model for the Liberator cruiser, using a 3ds model I downloaded from the Imperial Archives, and Mask's tutorial. It ain't Mask quality, but I'm proud of it. Believe me, if I can do this stuff anybody can.

 

This was on topic when the thread started...but the topic keeps changing :!::?

I'm not convinced about that last statement. All i can do is design missions for Operation Flashpoint.

Hi Guys. I just changed the subject on this topic and replaced the text in my initial post for it.

Pucho 777....you got it one! Replacing the rather crap pictures in rebellion with similar movie clips would transform the game! I think with three movies covering the era of the game we've got more than enough footage to cover everything from system blockades (ie: Star Destroyers at Hoth), Systems take-overs (Sandtroopers on Tattooine), and Death Star planet-vamping (>obvious). I personally wouldn't have a clue how to do it myself...

Oh boy, this is good stuff.

But can it be done?

Question #2

 

I'd like to re-align/edit the hyperdrive flares on the engines of the new ship/fighter images/cards I've chosen/replaced with in the game. I'd like to do the same with the damaged indicator images. They're out of place cuz of the new image. How, if possible, can I do that?

It's also somewhere in the dlls. I believe it was strategy.dll, but you could look up Mask's quick reference guide just to be sure.

These are actually pics with the appropriate flares (hyperspace, explosions) which have a blue background (so that it becomes transparent)..

Please advise on how to re-align/edit them? :oops:

Oh well, that's just bmp editing. Dunno how, never done it before. Would suggest to copy the ship pic into a blue background (the one for transparency) and scatter your explosions or whatever around it, then delete the ship pic so that you only have the blue background with the explosions.

You could copy/paste flares from other ship pics or work them up yourself.

Sorry about replacing event pics with movie clips, but as I said before in other threads : it is impossible without rewriting the game.

Thanks.

 

Unfortunately, I don't know how to create cards. :cry: MASK...won't show me how! :evil:

 

:wink:

 

Can anyone else aid in the goal of my task?

8O Ahh, Pucho ... remember when you asked me about it and I explained at length on how to create those blue-screen pics and what dimensions they should have ? These are the pics you need to make cards. Just open RebEd, load the pics, edit the values and save your card. So what's the problem there ?

 

Or do you mean event pics ? These are no cards, just the pictures you can replace with Resource Hacker.

 

VERDAMMEN!!!

-who do you want to condemn ? :wink: If you mean 'damn', that's 'Verdammt !' (also means 'damned' as an adjective)

 

Poor Hiob, made the job of a messenger one of the most unhappy ones :lol:

Um...o.k....VERDAMMT! :lol:

 

You don't understand Billy, I need a child's pop-up book in regards to instructions on these things! :oops::lol:

 

I don't care when...I'm in no rush for this (would be nice to have it sooner than later, but...), but when it comes, it MUST be simplified for me. Pretend you're writing instructions for a 5 year old. :lol:

 

Instructions like you had provided for bringing the new models into the game.

 

Sorry...I'm one of those idiots! :cry:[/img]

I have a question: is it somehow possible to alter the possibilities of planetary uprisings in connection to certain events (like Death Star blowing up a planet)?

Ok, I'll look into that mail again and I'll try to adapt to that style again :D

But it could take some time, the first exams are next week and I start waking up over the scripts and see, that I've not come any farther that an hour ago :lol:

Question #3

 

Heeello! :)

 

I'm a little confused on the 'Including New Fighters' Help file instructions. It mentions that each fighter has nine 'Resource Name' resources under the 'Resource Type' 303 (eg. 4000 - 4009 for the X-wing) yet when I go into the unzipped fighter folders, there are ten .BIN files (eg. two for each; blue, gold, green, red, and neutral). Am I able to drop one of the .BIN files, or...? :?:oops:

 

Also, in regards to the latest fighter, the TIE V-38, there are only five .BIN files.

 

Please instruct me on how to proceed.
