Jakskomiksu Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 This post was recognized by Stratus! "Excellent content submission" Jakskomiksu was awarded the badge 'Helpful' and 50 points. Post was supposedly be an (poor) alternative for (not working nowadays) Rebellion editing Wiki http://www.swrebellion.com/rebedwiki/. I strongly recomend making a backup text file of that so you wont fake bump post views unnessesarily. I'll try to post threads and links that are relevant (imo) to a problems ive mentioned in my 1st Mod proposal post. I strongly advise new modders to start from reading whole https://swrebellion.net/forums/topic/282-mechanics-inside-rebellion/ thread. It should give you a basic understanding of what we all are up against. & https://swrebellion.net/forums/topic/3169-rebellions-language/ & https://swrebellion.net/forums/topic/2943-help-me/ Also check the download section {as a nessecity}. FEW TIPS FOR TOTAL NEW PLAYERS/ MODDERS: 1) Easiest way to start your practise is from blocking both A L BRIEF & E M BRIEF files in your main game folder - just to skip 'your advisors' intoduction. It may save you a lifetime. & https://swrebellion.net/forums/topic/2716-another-error-please-help-asap/ - about editing it & https://swrebellion.net/forums/topic/2738-replacing-briefing-question/ - about editing it 2) I think all who dare to still love this game started from editing save game files just to "check" differences of your fleet composition. It basicaly allows you to quick change things you want to check without need to play full-lenght scenario. & https://swrebellion.net/forums/topic/2775-traitor-program/ & https://swrebellion.net/forums/topic/3044-possible-to-edit-savegames/ & https://swrebellion.net/forums/topic/3567-2-questions-edit-savegames-and-how-to-see-the-ai-is-doing/ & https://swrebellion.net/forums/topic/3947-need-help-with-save-game-files/ 3) Feel free to get your RebEd figured out - just to get little more familiar with a code and some of line structures. 4) At this point you are more or less on the level when you can do some of Personal Changing or maybe even Total Conversion. Just be prepare for a long lasting process to do so. I recommend strarting from posts of the original page then following the forums. & https://swrebellion.net/forums/topic/2227-uge-10/ - oldest 'game helper program' possible - dont think its anywhere active -try other old games communities -some things can be done with that much esier & https://swrebellion.net/forums/topic/1805-yet-another-edit-app/ - if you dig it out & https://swrebellion.net/forums/topic/1297-remember-me/ - basic programs needed & https://swrebellion.net/forums/topic/493-importance-of-a-sector-in-rebed/ - basics of ReBed & https://swrebellion.net/forums/topic/42-hex-locations-anyone/ - pretty good idea of what RebEd is supposed to be doing & https://swrebellion.net/forums/topic/96-question/ - gives you idea that even RebEd (*upgrades) can mess your game & https://swrebellion.net/forums/topic/394-reading-the-dat-files/ - advanced decoding & https://swrebellion.net/forums/topic/80-name-length-patch-plan-b/ - advanced name coding- just less in merit facts & https://swrebellion.net/forums/topic/34-name-lengths-and-the-han-solo-flag/ - advanced name coding & https://swrebellion.net/forums/topic/380-empty-wav-files/ - interesting ..! & https://swrebellion.net/forums/topic/456-changing-music-files/ - about music with details & https://swrebellion.net/forums/topic/1064-new-here-and-a-in-game-music-question/ - about music & https://swrebellion.net/forums/topic/1985-wavs/ - about card editing & https://swrebellion.net/forums/topic/2175-add-music/ - about music & https://swrebellion.net/forums/topic/2291-music-data-problems/ - about music & https://swrebellion.net/forums/topic/2531-music-help/ - about music & https://swrebellion.net/forums/topic/2869-editing-questions/ - about music & https://swrebellion.net/forums/topic/2877-ok-so-ive-been-doing-some-editing/ OK back to proper crossing: START WITH THIS TO GET MORE OR LESS IDEA WHATS POSSIBLE FROM BELOW:https://swrebellion.net/forums/topic/863-edata-folder-contains-bitmaps/ - you can get my description to fasten up processing from my previous posthttps://swrebellion.net/forums/topic/1106-some-n00b-questions/https://swrebellion.net/forums/topic/940-making-single-player-a-challenge/ - overal grief for what havent been done and should be a priority "Main issues to the gameplay i have: - MISSING THE OPTION TO MAKE YOUR OWN KEY BINDINGS AND MACROS! &https://swrebellion.net/forums/topic/3261-many-have-tried-few-have-suceeded/ & No threads/ topics found - the basic controls rediscovered by Praetor Pyro were added to the archive i've uploaded. - Possibility of editing galaxy map/ planets (both their minatures and decriptions) for all those in love with legend/ expanded universe/ cannon like view of it.

Behold from deleting this post - it may be still of some use for the newcommers. PS.2 I have not threaded the RebEd topics just to serve you an advice of how long it takes to get those 17 pages of texts merits to read. PS.3 I'd strongly reccomend keeping playabe flat or modded game fully backuped on some distant disc place and work on another (May the Force forbid you from using Program files directory). It's why you'll keep your generated # scenario out of crashing zones - what i mean by that i've observe that everytime you reinstal the game the game will probably generate simillar or closeby scenario. PS.4 Feel free to add up to this - it took me about few hours of topics scrolling so i could've missed something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWR Staff - Executive Stratus Posted December 23, 2021 SWR Staff - Executive Share Posted December 23, 2021 Thank you for all of this. I will look into the possibility of restoring the wiki and what that may entail. Otherwise we might have to start with a fresh wiki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
