Post by -_- »

I am working on a map and replaced a few of the older soldiers. But how to u rename them so that on the spawn list it'll say ARC Heavy Weapons instead of Clone Pilot?

Look at this picture : http://people.freenet.de/Santarossa/SWBH_localize.JPG
Thus, you'll know what scopes and keys you'll have to create in order to localize existing or new units... Hex-editing can also help you.

Talking of localisation... How do you get the objectives to be shown for one side and not the other?

Dude... he doesn't have to ask my permission unless he uses my files... if he creates his own ARCs then he is good to rock... I don't OWN any rights to the ARC Troopers :P My MOD is just dedicated to them.

P.S. Dude if your working toward Muulinist, go to my forums and join the team... I want Muulinist also, it's just going to be a big job.

Nope, renaming it in the ODF is another of Pandemic's useless redundancy. And, OOM, you have the localisation strings wrong... right now, you have "arc_commanddroid" as the key, wrong, that key needs to be the original name of the unit, and then in the DESCRIPTION add the new name. Contact me on XFire some time today, and I can help you with more details.
