Alright so i have been working on a few things here and there, and also fucking around with some CA files. With the help of B1ackAnge1 and his amazing mind / software we may have found a way to edit the .rez files in CA.
If you don't know what a .rez file is listen up. A .rez file is a file type that is a compression of diff. files. For example: Combat Arms has .rez files, within the .rez files are files like .dtx, and MANY others.
The main one we are talking about here are the .dtx files. They are the image files from Combat Arms that are in-fact the textures. Although the only way to edit them is if they are a certain file type. But with the help on B1lackAnge1 and his software we can edit this files and convert them BACK into a normal ca, .dtx file.
Our only problem at the moment is finding a program that lets you PACK these files BACK into a .rez file.
To spark your intrest a little more i am going to show you a couple screen shots of the texture files we are able to edit:

Alright but you get the idea. There LOTS more files and LOTS more to edit etc.
What i guess im asking the community by this post is to spark your interest and join in to help and try to find a .rez packer.
So keep on the look out, and please don't bother me with this, like about the public hacks hahaha:D
Thanks Guys!
EDIT Sept. 22, 2009 - We may use some people from the gfx section to implement some of there skills =]
