Put back extracted and edited meshes on the game

Julian Quin · 12-01-2008, 07:18 PM

Hi there, i´m a begginer on the video game stuff, i really are a 3d artist, so sure i can find some help here.

The question is simple, i hope the answers too. If i extract the meshes of the game whit the 3D Ripper DX or other similar program, how i can put the edited model back on the game? There´s any software to "recompile" the file?

Finally, sorry for the possible grammar errors, the english is not my native lenguage.

Also, even if you tell us, might not be able to answer, I pretty much just got esperience with the UT3 and Oblivion/morrowind game-engine

Quite a lot of games allow you to decompile assets, and recompile them. When it comes to how you do it though, it will depend on the game/engine and the programs used. So more information would be useful.

Thanks!!! well... i really don´t worry about the game, i just start so anyone will be of my interest, if you can tell which engine software works on some especific game will be great, i try to get almost one or two of these engines and start to experiment at my own.

The Source engine, HL2/Counter Strike Source. There is a vast amount of resources out there, just need to search.

DICE's Refractor 2 engine for Battlefield 2 has been a good engine to mod but has a semi-steep learning curve. This link is the place to go for just about everything you need to know about modding BF2.
