Mace Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Hi Q. I have replaced nearly all of the minor characters in the game with new ones found in the excellent card section. These all work perfectly right up until i promote one of them in the game to General, Commander or Admiral. Once i do this the original characters name reapears. How do i stop this please? http://diplomats-empire.com/forum/images/Mace-banner.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdmiralFishface Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 This was my reply to another post, but contains some of the info you need: First, you need to know that all text (and all pics, sounds, and models, et cetera) of Rebellion is stored within .dll files. Secondly, you need to know RebEd has its limitations (as you've no doubt found out) to change these dlls. It is, for example, not able to change the length of any text. If you'd replace Ackbar's name with A in RebEd, the result would be A and five spaces in Rebellion, because the length of the string wasn't changed. For the same reason, you can't type names or encyclopedia texts longer than the original. Another thing it can't do is change the rank names of characters. Even if you change "Villar" into "Tarkin", there still is a dll entry with "General Villar". Now to change this, you need Resource Hacker. This baby is able to give you a look right into the dlls. There you can change texts to (almost) any desired length, adjust how the ranks affect names, and do more stuff way beyond RebEd. and to find your way inside the dlls, the dll contents file will point you in the right direction. Just be sure to keep a copy of the original dlls around... Hope that helped! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v436/RiesstiuIV/Krempel/trapaure.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahled Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 There is in fact a cardspace update download that gives every character card the leangth of Darth Vaders and their name as well... it should be in the downloads section, but is definitly on The_Mask's website... http://www.jahled.co.uk/smallmonkeywars.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdmiralToguroAni Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 I believe that they are in the Gokres.dll file Count Dooku is the strongest Star Wars character as depicted in the movies. All hail Christopher Lee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarinSunrider Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Where can I DL the Resource Haker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdmiralToguroAni Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 it should be on the first page of Google when you type in Resource Hacker. Also, my post above is wrong. The names are actually in Textstra.dll. Count Dooku is the strongest Star Wars character as depicted in the movies. All hail Christopher Lee.

DarinSunrider Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Yeah, I found all the stuff in the DLL you mentioned. Its pretty easy, but it takes so damn long... I love this game, espeically modified, I just wish there was a faster way to do all these mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scathane Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Why on earth would one rummage around in the dlls when Jahled's solution is so much simpler... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokemJags Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Why on earth would one rummage around in the dlls when Jahled's solution is so much simpler... Couldn't find it on the download section.Had some fun finding Mask's (German) site. http://www.swrebellion.com/~the_mask/woodsboro/rebellion/Rebellion_cardspace_update_plan_b.zip Is the link for the cardspace update you were referring to if anyone is still interested. I know I'm having fun with it, heheh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
