if you anted to replace

all_hero_leia
with
all_hero_chewbacca

could you do it if you changed
the name of all_hero_chewbacca's main file

to make it smaller

than
all_hero_leia

And WHY should you do it?

I guess he thinks that enhancing the number of characters of a Hero's name and reducing its weapons' would make the game working properly with an hex-edited "mission.lvl". In fact, he'd like to do that to keep the original size of the *.LUA files he wishes to modify... :?

What about the LUA extractor thingy that's pinned in this forum?

I think you're talking of LVL Extractor... This command-line program can only extract compiled LUA scripts... (*.LUB files)
In fact, it just pulls out some "raw" parts from "mission.lvl", without adding additional bytes, etc... So, the best way to mod SWBF II scripts would be to get the original *.LUA files... (Which might be released in SWBF II Mod Tools...)
