Combat Arms .REZ Editing Tutorial

I'm going to start working on my own mod now.

That would be awesome!

This tutorial is SUPER outdated. There are software discrepancies. for instance, Black Angel's extractor is now called WinRezLT. Some of the steps aren't clarified very well. There's no prelude comparing and contrasting model, sound and texture modifications. There's no information about what's possible for modifiers and what is not.

I'm interested in learning exactly what is possible as far as modifying Combat Arms M and T and sound files (along with what isn't).

Here's the outline of what I'm trying to learn:

I. Modification Tutorial
A. Basic definitions of
1. Model mods
2. sound mods
3. Texture mods
B. What is possible/prohibited with CA mods.
1. Model
2. Sound
3. Texture
C. What is needed to make CA mods.
D. How to modify models (step by step with screen shots)
E. How to modify sounds (step by step)
F. How to modify textures (step by step)

do i have to get photo shop?? or can i just dowload and be good to go?=D

thats cool, so can everyone see your finished product in game? or is it only through your view? since it was done to only your own .rez files im guessing the latter...


anyway great work, wish i had photoshop!

This didn't work that well for me, everything seemed fine until I tried to open it up with Photoshop, and then it says "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document."
I've converted the files to .DTX format, and I put all the plug-ins in.
Help please?

I cant get photoshop to work it says "Could not complete your request because its not the right kind of document. i put the files in the correct folders and converted them but it still doesnt reconize the DTX files . any thoughts?

I use photoshop cs2, and it works fine as long as you put the right files in the right places. Place msvcrtd.dll and msvcirtd.dll into your Photoshop Folder (plugin needs them.) DO NOT place them in any sub-folder. Take DTXFormay.8bi from Plug-ins\File Format\ and place DTXFormat.8bi in your photoshop plugins file formats folder.

It wont let me open on it it says wrong document what should i do! ?

there is no folder called that !! Photoshop plugins one

all file format files are .8bi. Do a search for that file type and put the DTXFormat.8bi into that photoshop folder.

do you need to have photoshop
