hi everyone. If i made my mod ready2play but cause of strings changes i want to make my mod like renalert or reborn like an own game. As i´ve heard it would work by putting all my files into the original always.dat so i tried it but doesn´t work. i also refreshed the always.dbs and all the used scripts are in the renegade folder. so what did i do wrong that it doesn´t work? can anybody help me?

It would take ALOT of work, you should really speak directly with a team for alot of your questions, but i would suggest copying renegade completely, just like they did, empty most of always.dat, if you wanted to do it the easy way just replace their models with yours, so your new model for the GDI soldier would just be named that exact thing they did. Im not truly sure, this is just how i thought it was done. Im sure the other posters will be more help.

Hey there E!...

Your talking kinda like a TC (Total Conversion) mod.

You would want to make your own complete always.dat, you can't just add your own things to it and play normally.

If you want more information about how to make your own always.dat and more info on making a complete TC like RenAlert, just gimme a shout (PM or Emal) and i'll fill you in on what you need to do.

Hope this helps Smile

You can prevent the zero-bug by restarting ren BEFORE and AFTER using a Mod packet.

An easy way to do it would make a mod folder called "always" that cointains your mod files.

Export the mod package as "always.dat" .

It doesn't have to be there if you don't want to have a background.

Don't put file in to always.dat manually. If you want to add something without recompiling always.dat you have to copy it to your mod's Data folder.

hmm one more question. I tried making a Back.dds, and i put it in my dat folder but it doesnt show up. I even tried using the original one from renegade, (Direct copy, no changes or setting made) and still nothing.

Seaman: I tried your exporting always.dat method to try to compile SWMOD, but it didn't work. When I tried to load a level, the game just crashed. I made sure I had all the necessary files in the .MIX for the file, I'm thinking there must be stuff in the old Always.dat that isn't exported with mod packages. Or am I just doing something wrong?
