Alright, I edited the .dll file and stuff with my own text. I told the story object which string and everything, but when I check the computer screen, it shows the original text of the string instead of the new text I wrote there. Did I do something wrong?
Make sure it is SAVED as cres.dll not cress_original.dll
Saved where? you rezzed it up? or using folder?

Quote from: Le Celticant on Apr 07, 2016, 10:32:46 PMYeah it's not in there. How would I extract it from the .rez file without unrez.bat?
It should be right into the AVP2 extracted folder (..\Aliens Vs. Predator 2\AVP2 or wherever you extracted with the unrez.bat)
If not, you could still extract it manually from AVP2P5.rez

With the risk of sounding a bit silly, make sure to check the PROJECT DIRECTORY, not the game folder. That is where your game resources are stacked in order to be used by the editor.
Search it manually, Windows Explorer can be troubling sometimes.

I take it that fiddling with cres.dll will allow me to enter text in the objectives tab as well?
You know, maybe it was TAB or ~, it's where your objectives are listed, along with the incident logs.

So does cres.dll allow you to have multiple different computer screen story objects such as this one? I mean, I just assumed that I'd have to take the texture of blank computer screen, put text on it, and save it as a new texture. I never thought I'd have to modify a .dll file.
