I've just spent the last day converting my mod files from diplomacy to rebellion. Thought I'd share the changes that need to be made to save anyone else having to look through and compare the files.
The entries in red are the new lines of text that need to be added:
Entity files
--------------------
The following are for the ability, buff, research subject, ship and planet module files.
1. effectInfo
effectAttachInfo
attachType "Center"
smallEffectName ""
mediumEffectName ""
largeEffectName ""
soundID "EFFECT_LASTSTAND"
2. minExperienceLevelRequired
Level:0 0.000000
Level:1 0.000000
Level:2 0.000000
Level:3 0.000000
(This applies to all text sections where levels are such as antimatter cost and cool down times, just add level 3.)
3. researchPrerequisites
NumResearchPrerequisites 0
RequiredFactionNameID ""
RequiredCompletedResearchSubjects 0
4. artifactPicture ""
uniqueOverlayBrush ""
(This is at the very bottom of the researchsubject files.)
Entity files - Stars and Planets
----------------------------------
Stars only-
1. coloredSkyboxMeshNameCount 1
meshName "SkyboxBackdrop2"
deepSpaceSkyboxMeshNameCount 1
meshName "SkyboxBackdrop"
The above text in the star entity files needs to be replaced with:
coloredSkyboxMeshInfoCount 1
meshInfo
meshName "SkyboxBackdrop2"
shouldPrefer FALSE
deepSpaceSkyboxMeshInfoCount 1
meshInfo
meshName "SkyboxBackdrop"
shouldPrefer FALSE
Planets only -

MESH files

Nice and easy, just add this one line -
TXT
MeshData
maxDiffuseMipLevel 0
hasValidTangents TRUE
BoundingRadius 5000.000977
GALAXY Files
----------------
This is a real pain to change, especially if you've got a large map. I found the "find and replace" functions in notepad a real help here.
