Replacing tekstures in Cataclysm / unpaking .big files

[EH_AceTFL]

Someone know what program (where i can get it) can do it?

Actually, you're going to need more than one program for all that.

Unpacking the .big files is best done with a program called WinBig, which should be available from the Modding Tools page of www.b5mods.com

To replace textures on a ship, well, you need to go through a few steps. You also need 3D modelling software, image editing software, and some knowledge of how to use them...

you should also check the Research and Development Labs and the supply cache (where you should really have been looking and posted) as thats more related to hw modding and you could have found the answers you were seeking, there was a good tutorial that was around at one point about making a model and textuing it and how to import it etc to make it work with hw, only that site went down.

you could get gmax (free modelling software, a toned down version of 3dmax) im not sure of what formats it can export to though. www.discreet.com
