I know you've probabally been asked this thousands of times but....I've just downloaded RebED, Resource Hacker, the Eclipse & Soverign SSD & Golan 3 files and want to put the later 3 into the game as usable units, but I have no clue how. Can anybody help?

Make sure you download The_Mask's tutorial on changing models. Give it a read and it will help. Don't get lost for now in the portion about converting .3ds models to Direct X - just skip on down to the part about uploading the completed .x files into your tactical.dll folder.

 

Also, in the Rebed-Model Editing forum, look for the topic "How is the model editting (sic) done and carried into Rebellion." Look for Mask's post a few messages down. It is helpful too.

 

You might want to create a copy of your tactical.dll before you get started just for safety's sake, but if you follow the instructions in the tutorial you shouldn't have any problem.

I Diddin't know ether.

And something important I found out the hard way:

 

Don't leave Resource Hacker open with the tactical.dll, while you launch RebEd If you close either of them then, your tactical.dll might be screwed beyond repair. If that happens, you gotta get a fresh one, either from the backup (that you hopefully made), or from the Rebellion folder on your CD.

 

Have fun
