Music help!

So here's the deal: I've been a HUGE rebellion fan since it came out, and recently rediscoverd it last year. Recently I've been playing around with Rebed, and some of the TCs and cards found here. However, possibly in my ignorance, I cannot find the files with either the sound effects or songs (I assume they are .wavs), either in the DLL entries through Rebed, or scoping thru the Rebellion files. Can anyone tell me where to find that file, and also how to edit/replace the files with .wavs of my own?

Hi there.

 

Currently, the latest version of RebEd only has a few of the sounds of the game mapped and in the RebEd program itself to modify. Wave files for the game are spread thought the diffent application extension files, or DLLs, which are in the main Rebellion Folder. To listen to and edit/change these sounds, you need a program like Resource Hacker, wich lets you view (in this case, listen to) files and replace them with other files. I recently learned how to do this, and I'm editing text, pictures, and sounds thoughout the game. It can be tedious and tricky to learn the nuances of DLL editing for someone who hasen't don'e it before, but once you learn how, a whole new world of modding possibilites for SWR open up to you.

 

Good luck

In the download area of this side is a document file, in which dll file which informations (pictures, names, audio files, and so on) can be found. You can edit this dll files with ResHacker (download area again). Also in the download area you can find a patch with which allow you to change the videos and music files of the game.

Another thing which you should know is that there is a folder called MDATA (by default, located in your Rebellion CD; you'll need to take it out and put it in the rebellion directory) that contains all the music files. Simply make .WAVs of the songs you want, then rename them to "MDATA.xxx" where "xxx" is the number of the file extension. Replace the existing one with the new one, and the music will play in rebellion.

Some of the MDATAs are the movie files so they won't play if you rename their extension to .wav. They can be played with the Bink and Smacker utility.

I keep hearing about a new rebed with music files and such. Were is this please?

Never heard about that actually.

 

(yes, on the old EzBoard forums, it was widely discussed but never realised or necessary)
