Unfortunately you can't. We don't have enough of the source files for SWBF1 to rebuild core.lvl, which stores localization.

I know it can be done, I saw it happen.

Post a link to the mod and we'll see where we can go with it, but as I recall it can't be done. The bigger problem is there just aren't enough modders who still know SWBF1 to confirm/deny that it can be done, nor are there any who'd know how if we could.

Again, I'm 99.99% sure it can't be done, but I'll help if you can post a link to a mod. Then I can get an idea of what they've done.

Best thing to do is contact the author of that mod.

Its possible by using hex method. Search unicode strings in your core.lvl and edit

I done this for replace original green multiplayer messages (F5-F12) to my custom ones and other people on any server can see this

Or u can use hard hex method (much more hard but more powerfull couse you can use your lenght of string)

Create addon and localise how u want then munge, copy and replace some string from addon core.lvl to your game one or replace full Locl chunk for your language.

RepSharpshooter hex tutorial can help you http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtop ... 27&t=11141
