The '''RebEd FAQ (2001)''' is the question-and-answer page that the SWRebellion community kept for [[RebEd]] users, as archived on 16 June 2001. Its sections are Cards, TCs, DLL Entries, Editing, Problems and a list of picture resources.<ref name="faq" /> The basics of cards and total conversions are covered in [[RebEd cards]] and [[Total conversion]]; this article collects the other answers.

== Swapping pictures ==
The FAQ says that picture changes through the DLL resource explorer are hard, and that [[DLLEntries.txt]] simply lists the DLL file and number of each picture. To exchange the pictures of two units, it describes a simpler route: save the picture from the encyclopedia entry of unit A, save the picture of unit B, load A's picture into B's entry, then load B's picture into A's.<ref name="faq" />

== Editing limits ==
* '''Maximum values.''' The exact maximum is not known. If a value is set too high, every mission that uses that statistic fails as if the value were zero, and the page recommends keeping base values under 255.<ref name="faq" />
* '''Maintenance cost.''' A maintenance cost of zero makes the game treat the item as unbuildable.<ref name="faq" />
* '''Recharge rate.''' The rate works as energy gained per second, so a higher number makes a ship fire faster, the opposite of how hyperspace values behave.<ref name="faq" />
* '''Force ranks.''' The FAQ gives these cut-offs: Novice 11–19, Trainee 20–79, Jedi Student 90–99, Jedi Knight 100–119, Jedi Master 120 and up. The printed list has no entry for 80–89 (Jedi Student starts at 90), a gap the tips page does not share. The official site's tips page gives other thresholds; see [[Gameplay tips on Force growth and game events]].<ref name="faq" />
* '''Cutscenes.''' They can be viewed, converted or rebuilt with the Smacker tools. Replacing cutscenes requires copying the whole game CD to the hard disk and using a no-CD crack.<ref name="faq" />

== Problems and answers ==
* A complaint that a full install is needed, even after RebEd was downloaded in full, means the game itself needs a full install (the 155 MB option), or its files must be moved from CD to hard disk with RebEd's Partial Installer.<ref name="faq" />
* The "latest version" message when loading a total conversion points to a missing or wrong DLLEntries.txt; the page names 0.26 as the latest RebEd.<ref name="faq" />
* Crashes should be reported on the forum with the error message, the exact steps, the game's language version, a repeatable case and the <code>c:\error.log</code> file.<ref name="faq" />
* Cards that will not load were blamed on a known Netscape download problem that corrupted files; the page suggests downloading with Internet Explorer.<ref name="faq" />
* Custom settings can be used in multiplayer, but both players must use the same settings or crashes are likely.<ref name="faq" />
* After "Restore All", some unit names may display incorrectly. This is a known bug; moving the "Encyc DLLs" to the hard disk in the Partial Installer restores the encyclopedia entries and names.<ref name="faq" />

== Picture resources ==
The last section lists websites that card makers used as picture sources: model, news, fan art, comic, book-cover and general science-fiction picture sites. It calls its own list extremely out of date and invites readers to send additions.<ref name="faq" />
