Question Modify DLL?

[Live4Him]

Just for the fun of it, I was going to try to make the space shuttle Discovery and the other orbiters from the stock Atlantis by simply making the Atlantis.dll use a different mesh. However, I have a little problem. Is there any way to look at a DLL file and modify it? All I would have to modify is the meshname. I've tried using some decompilers, but the dll file appears as gibberish and I can't make it out. Is there anybody who knows how to do this? Thanks in advance!

Look in the orbitersdk folder. The default vessels and their sources are there with also the documentation of the sdk.

You need a C++ compiler and the source code - for the default orbiter vessels, the source code is in the orbiterSDK.

There is no other way, compilation is a process that can't be reversed. A decompiler can sometimes locate debug information in a DLL, but usually, it can only discover assembler instructions without any symbols.

Thanks, Fabri! I'll try that!

You can't simply modify a DLL. If you have its source you can change that and recompile it, though.
