Editing Existing mods

[Killerjlb21 0]

Hi guys i am new to the boards. Love GR and want to tweak an existing Mod.

I am using "Black Sun 3.0" by =DRAG=.

I would like to change selectable models and weapon kits for each class. Do i have to do everything through Igor or can i hand edit files?

I did alot of work and got it like i want it but then gave what i did to a friend so we could play but told him wrong version when he tried to connect. We reinstalled original version of Black sun and we were able to connect.

So do i have to start all over or is there a file that is checked that verifies the version being used.

Any help would be great thanks guys and gals

No - You can Edit most of the Files within "GR" using Windows Notepad ( Exclusive of Weapons Models, Skins, and Character Models ).

So do i have to start all over or is there a file that is checked that verifies the version being used.

As long as Your Buddy has the same Mod as You ( EXACTLY the same ) - He can Join You online and You Him.

If You have to re-edit the Mod the way You'd first edited It - Then that is what You'll have to do if You've not saved Your previous work on this. As far as a File checker - I'm not even sure how You'd use it to accomplish anything near what You are seeking. The Version of the Mod should be in a ReadMe.txt File Included with the Mod, and the Version for Your Game Engine should be marked in the Game's Main Menu Screen ( Lower Right Corner ) when "GR" is active on Your PC.

Yeah i went back and cleaned up some files and zipped it up and reinstalled GR and had him do the same. It works great now.
