Renaming Vehicles

K, this is mostly for DEVISS-REX's sides mod.

Basically, got a work around for replacing some vehicles with other ones (he can't use Zeroeditor). Problem is since they have the same odf name as existing ones they've got the same actual name (cos of localization). Is there a way this can be changed via either odf or lua? To overwrite the localization names. Because it's real weird having a dwarf spider showing the name 'AAT'

No, I'd think the most you could do via odf or lua (if this even) would be changing the name to another localize key.

Yeah, I'd think it'd have something to do with the localization.

Create a dummy map (or use the map you're using to create the sides). Make all the localization changes you need, and munge.

Copy the core.lvl for that modmap into a folder (any one, it doesn't matter) in your addon folder. Use ReadDataFile to call for the "new" core.lvl. Example:

Code: Select all

ScriptCB_DoFile("ObjectiveConquest")

ReadDataFile("dc:ADS\\core.lvl")

	--  Empire Attacking (attacker is always #1)
    local REP = 2
    local IMP = 1
    --  These variables do not change
    local ATT = 1
    local DEF = 2
    
function ScriptPostLoad()

If your trying to keep all the files the same cant you still change the name in localization?
