from what I remember reading about the differences in the mesh (ship shape) there is an additional line in them, as for the entity files the best answer would be to use either a tool like beyond compare or notepad++ to compare the frigate & capitalship entity files between diplomacy and rebellion and add the differences to the entities that you want to transfer.

and there is also the get an answer thread here in the modding area, if  you post your specific questions the various modders will probably help you solve the problems

hope this helps

as the texture file names are in the mesh, and the textures need to be in the textures folder, they should show up, but I remember reading in a recent(the last week) thread that the cl texture was also needed.

i added the extra line, still no texture, i am not sure what the cl texture is that you mentioned.  thanks for all the help so far, i am slowly learning.

I saw in the get an answer thread that you RENAMED the textures,this is the problem, the textures are directly referenced BY the MESH, not the entity file, so you do NOT need or want to re-name the textures.

hope this helps

i guess that's why i had to rename those lines inside the mesh folder because i renamed the textures, i figured that would be easier to do that because i though i would have to add the drake mesh names to the manifest and strings files.

i gave that a shot and its working as well now and make a little more sense.  also is a bit easier than the way i was doing it.  whats funny is i think i did it the way you described about a year or so back.  thanks again for the help.
