Editing .rel's... how?

[STUFF2o]

I've seen that people have edited modules for stages and stuff, and according to Stack Smash, it's possible to replace characters this way (Toon Link replaces Sonic). I've never seen any thread for this or anything, so how is .rel editing done? Let's say I want to replace Sonic with Link so I could use both Link+ and Zero. How would this be done?

Chuy's educated guess would be just rename the file to the character's name

Pokelover's educated guess says this wouldn't work so well because of the pointers inside of the file would make it so they'd both be loaded from the same folder. Instead, you'd have to edit inside of the file with a hex editor and change pointers and the sorts, though I have no clue what to do after that.

or we can wait for the .rel editor to come out

That too. Phantom has been awfully busy though, and in another thread he stated that it keeps getting pushed back and back.

I assume this is about the update I posted, right?

Well, I apologize, I assumed .rel editing was already possible after seeing a Sonic over Olimar download up at ESH. You'll have to ask the creator about that, though I don't recall who it is.
