Greetings; If you have a good quality text editor like TextPad* you can open RL_E then do a search/mark/delete for the lines you want to replace. Then paste von hally's mod at then end. I would suggest after that to do a [menu] - sort/ascending. The game will read the file with lines not in (date) order, but with over 10,000 lines I think this helps the game read the file easier.
Being text mods if you 'merge' them you may end up with message duplicates. Won't hurt anything but it could be distracting. One more note on editing the messages file; don't word wrap!
Btw; von hally is correct, the work on the mod was tedious and painstaking. And I have been defensive about that. Not to mention feeling spent. I would like to try and look at RL_E now as something of a base or core. Where it works fine by itself but if someone creates improved / alternate quality group of messages then why not share them. Where and when credit is given it works out I think. RL_E also carrys another torch, it is a huge expansion of IrishRed's original work. And I hope that it has 'filled the message gaps' sufficiently for the game.
*The bulk of my radiolog expasion work was done using TextPad. Even the trial version can easily handle any edits for personal use. I spit on windows notepad.
