Markaine Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 Yeah.... Glad to see the forum back! Good work guys.Two guestions; 1) How do you edit the name lengths again? You know the amount of characters for someone's name like Griff. To be able to fit a longer name, how would I do it? 2) Has anyone found where the Han Solo flag is? I read that he travels faster, from place to place, than anyone else. We got Deathstars, We got Deathstars....And you know that we got it, Deathstars!

TK421 Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 Answer to question 2: Probably in the DLL's. Download the DDL editor or something and check it out. It is quite fun and useful. Question 1: Some people are working on the name length. Z'anthr saves the world. Sorry about the mess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_mask Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 It is, but I developed something in the semester holidays for the name-lenght-limitation. Although my first beta-tester Evaders had some problems with it. You can try it out for yourself and see, if there are any loose ends to this: http://members.xoom.it/d_kelley/rebellion/Rebellion_cardspace_update.zip it updates all the CHARACTER name spaces to something longer than for the Kaiya Andrimetrum card. Also the descriptions can be 80 characters longer than those of the card for Lord Vader. Mind you, this works only with 'fresh' Encytext & Textstra .dlls So you either have to use those from the CD (write-protection off), or you have to reinstall. But apply the Cardspace update before you do anything with RebEd ! Also: I have the US-version of Rebellion, so I dunno, if it'll work with Supremacy (UK), or other possible versions. 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...
Markaine Posted October 15, 2002 Author Share Posted October 15, 2002 Still haven't found the Han Flag. Ok, so what about the time it takes for anyone to travel without a ship? Anyone find that one yet? We got Deathstars, We got Deathstars....And you know that we got it, Deathstars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mask Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 It sure is in one of the dlls, but that's all I know, sorry. 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...
SWR Staff - Executive Evaders99 Posted October 16, 2002 SWR Staff - Executive Share Posted October 16, 2002 The Han Solo "flag" is probably hard-coded, as is the Jedi events and other special functions. I don't think you can change this.

Markaine Posted October 28, 2002 Author Share Posted October 28, 2002 hEY hASTINGS, YOU seem to know the most when it comes to editing the stuff I need. Do you know anything about traveling without a ship? Then again, you didn't make a Faq about everything you know about Star Wars Rebellion did you? I've beeen waiting for that... Thanks man.

Hastings Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 Travelling without a ship? I'm not quite sure what you mean but if you mean the Han Solo flag which allows him to travel twice as fast as anyone else, I haven't even looked for it so I have no idea where it is. I'm not sure it would be in the DLL's though as someone mentioned. It could be in the .DAT files in the GData folder. Which .DAT file though? My guess would be in the major character data file. Not every character would have this flag. I'm pretty sure Lucasarts just added this to Han Solo's character so you simply couldn't change one value and then everyone can travel real fast. I wanna know why the man has a gun and the gun not the man keeps the world at bay. I wanna hear what the man has to say, what the man has to say might just save me.

Markaine Posted October 28, 2002 Author Share Posted October 28, 2002 I figured it wouldn't be as easy as editing the ranks. The only "breakthrough" I found out was the dam rank strings. You know, so if you wanted to be called (Senator) instead of (General), or if your name gets cut off you can fiz that too. I wish I could contribute more to the forums, but without HEX experience, I'm just a babbling "cadet". We got Deathstars, We got Deathstars....And you know that we got it, Deathstars!

UntimelyDemise Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 Everyone should take a half-hour or so and explore all the .dll files with Resource Hacker. It's fun just to see all the bitmaps and hear all the .wav files. BTW, I've never heard the "Attack on the Death Star" waves before...I guess because the AI has never bothered building a DS before. I think I'll pull them out and put them on my website, just for kicks...

ElvisMiggell Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 I may be wrong here, but isn't all you need Windows Explorer. You seem to be able to get into the G_data and the dll's from there.

UntimelyDemise Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 Hmmm...I'm at work and can't test that. Can you open a Rebellion .dll from Windows Explorer and see what it does? I've never tried to open a .dll any other way. I tried doing it here on a .dll (not related to a game) and it didn't allow me to do anything...

the_mask Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 of target Untimely talks about opening the dlls of the 'root' dir of Rebellion to view the bitmaps and listen to the waves, ... Btw: you can edit the ranks to whatever you want with Resource Hacker. Just open the dll, change the text and click on 'compile script' before saving. 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...
the_mask Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 Untimely, surfing while you should be working ?

UntimelyDemise Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 Yes, Untimely is an irresponsible employee! I change the ranks to many of my characters. For example, I change my Tarkin card's ranks to Grand Moff (in place of Admiral or General...I don't allow him to be a Commander as I can't see the old fart flying around in a TIE Fighter!) and Thrawn's to Grand Admiral (instead of Admiral). I am thinking of changing Luke's to "Whiny Farmboy" in place of Commander...do ya think that's accurate?

ElvisMiggell Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 Technically, no. In spirit, hell yes. You could change Vader to Lord Vader as well. Elvismiggell.

glandry Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 Hey Ulitmately Demise, if you want the AI to build a death star, just use RebEd, go into galaxy mapper, and set each system to an importance of "high" and as "colonized". The AI builds at least one death start per game, sometimes even more. I've successfully blown it up in fighter attach runs, and once had the chance to have Luke sabotage it. Very cool. The other advantage of this modification is there is a lot more maintenance in the game. Both for you and for the AI. Makes for some kick-ass tactical battles. Nothing like taking on a fleet with 20 SSDs and associated caps and fighters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UntimelyDemise Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 I tried that once by setting all sectors to "High", but I didn't colonize the Rim. It was wild as hell, there were systems under both Imperial and Rebel control with no populations and no garrisons...weirdest thing I've seen in the game. I will try it with all colonized...that sounds like fun.
