anyone ever tried changing these files?

i was looking around the dats and i found the debris file. it has the models for the boxes that float to the surface and for i think the planes and trucks that fly off of the ships. i tried changing the obj for the large boxes to one i have created but got an immediate ctd on main game loading. it might be how I imported it as i still am baffled by pack 3d.
the dat file goes from about 4kb to like 50kb due to the model.

is changing these files actually possible?

thanks

As long as the model is correct, you should have little problems.
They have to be sectioned as triangles though.

When you export from Max, set the box for faces to triangles.
this is the LAST box that pops up on exporting.
