No ! If you want to get real free hex-editors, go to SnapFiles...
In fact, there are only two free hex-editing softwares : HexEditor and Hexplorer...

Please do not repost this tutorial anywhere. It's in a thread here and it's at saturnlabs. Why not just put a link to saturnlabs (link to the front page, I am currently redesigning the site and the tutorial pages will end up with different names).

Cheers
Sat

hmmm im tryin to do this with the 5 stormtroopers but it isnt workin. I guess its a slightly different process cos of the setup of the stormies.

5 stormies? that's easy...

import the imp level to your map.

then go to shock trooper, tie pilot, scout trooper, and dark trooper's odf's, and change their geometry to:

ClassLabel = "soldier"
GeometryName = "imp_inf_stormtrooper.msh"

[Properties]
FootWaterSplashEffect = "watersplash_sm"
WaterSplashEffect = "watersplash_md"
WakeWaterSplashEffect = "watersplash_wade"

Label = "Stormtrooper"
UnitType = "trooper"
IconTexture = "imp_soldier_icon"
MapTexture = "troop_icon"
MapScale = 1.4

GeometryName = "imp_inf_stormtrooper"
GeometryLowRes = "imp_inf_stormtrooper_low1"
FirstPerson = "IMP\impstrp;imp_1st_stormtrooper"
FirstPersonFOV = "70"
ThirdPersonFOV = "65"
AnimationName = "all_inf_snowtrooper"

And ta da! Clean, Munge, SPTest. 5 stormies at your disposal (one has a jet pack, and they all have the other guys weapons, but that can be fixed later.)

ok... go to bfbuilder pro
open one of your maps (or make a new one)
go to sides: import sides: imp
go to data(your mod's id) folder, sides, imp, odf.
go to the shock trooper's odf file (open with notepad).
highlight everything from geometryname(the one at top of screen) to animation name and replace with this:
GeometryName = "imp_inf_stormtrooper.msh"

[Properties]
FootWaterSplashEffect = "watersplash_sm"
WaterSplashEffect = "watersplash_md"
WakeWaterSplashEffect = "watersplash_wade"

Label = "Stormtrooper"
UnitType = "trooper"
IconTexture = "imp_soldier_icon"
MapTexture = "troop_icon"
MapScale = 1.4

GeometryName = "imp_inf_stormtrooper"
GeometryLowRes = "imp_inf_stormtrooper_low1"
FirstPerson = "IMP\impstrp;imp_1st_stormtrooper"
FirstPersonFOV = "70"
ThirdPersonFOV = "65"
AnimationName = "all_inf_snowtrooper"

then repeat for tiepilot, scout trooper, and dark trooper.
clean it, munge it, then sptest it, and all 5 should look like storm troopers.

sorry i meant 5 seperate stormtroopers (5 different skins)

Delta_57_Dash · Post by **Delta_57_Dash** » Thu Jul 21, 2005 12:10 pm

hm... then take the stormie skin, reskin it, and save it (and the msh files, ect) as scout.tga or darktrooper.tga etc... that should work
