Merging Mods and Factions?

from Sins Forums

Out of Curiosity Can Mods be merged so that there factions can collide with another mods factions? Here is an example lets say the Recent SGI teaser mod can i use the Tau'ri against lets say the Federation from star Trek?

 

If not what modding tools would be required to mod this?

assuming entrenchment/diplomacy editing the manifests, adding the files into a single mod while making sure that there are no name conflicts , merging the string files AND lots of testing

warning you could exceed the 2gb dataspace limit of the sins engine that will minidump as it hits the 2gb point

for the manifests there is my manifest maker which should be the last utility used before testing

for editing the texted files in mods notepad++

to convert files between text & bin my text bin gui

my utility pack can be downloaded from here at the bottom of the OP

 

for the string merging there is no known utility, but it should be possible using notepad++ and a lot of time/effort

For merging string files you could use " Beyond Compare "
