Changing a weapons name

Post by Karnage »

Im sorry if this has been posted before but i'd rather not go through the 23 forum pages to find it, so....

Well, As far as I know, its not possible.

The localizing in-game is somehow different than the 'full' one shipped with the Mod Tools. I simply took the "full" localization - which I found somewhere, and opened - then it have ALL of the codings in there :P (well, if you have more than 2 CP's you still need to add the lines for those though)

anyways, when I tried to re-name something and munged, and overwrote it with the one which was shipped with the game, it simply crashed.

so I would say no :?

anyone have anything which rejects what I said? :)

Didn't Majin rename everything at one point? He renames weapons in his maps all the time, I wondered how...

Karnage, do you want to change the Orbital Strike's label for the shipped "imp.lvl" file, or for a custom side dedicated to a certain map ?

I could put it in my Rhen Var Battle map but i was just making the side as a side you could put in the main side folder to overwrite the original imp side and play battlefront with as this modded side. How bout with the Kamikazee Squadron who did that and how did they change the name. Just for the shipped imported retail side imp.lvl with BFBuilder Pro.

ahh - you mean a NEW modded map!

I thought you meant the ones shipped with the game...!

and I also think its odd, that it double-posted :?

I'll ask Guru to remove it later :)

It depends : Do you want to change this label for the shipped "imp.lvl" file, or for a custom one, added to a map ? (I prefer to be sure of myself...)

If you have BFBuilder Pro you'll know what i mean. There is the shipped retail side that you can import for a map but i am just making a side to overwrite the main imp side in the Battlefront\Gamedata\Data\_lvl_pc\side.
This side is to play in any map as the main imp.lvl, not just for one map.
I do not know anything about name changing, but i would like to find out how.

Well, you can now download the tweaked "core.lvl" file I've made. You'll find it here.
After you'll have downloaded it, just extract that *.LVL file in "Star Wars Battlefront\GameData\Data\_LVL_PC". Of course, do not forget to make a back-up of the original file !

Nevertheless, I'm not sure it'll work properly : Indeed, it could re-localize the Orbital Strike for another faction than the Empire. In that case, do not hesitate to report some errors like that to me...
