Ok, I have a custom side with a custom name. How do I get the name to appear on the opening screen when you pick your sides?

example:

Rebels

Empire

Auto Select

Spectate

I need it to say:

Gungans

Cis

Auto Select

Spectate

Any thought, I combed through the localize tool and couldn't find the spot to change.

ALso how do you change the names of the people being killed, It's says alpha 01 killed so and so, I need it to say (Some Gungan name) killed so and so.

in edit localize go to common/sides/firstnames and secondnames. for you first question i am not sure, but this might be the answer, taken from endor hunt:

-- Alliance Stats
SetTeamName(ALL, "Ewoks")
SetTeamIcon(ALL, "all_icon")
AddUnitClass(ALL, "ewk_inf_trooper",12)
-- AddUnitClass(ALL, "ewk_inf_repair",8)
AddUnitClass(ALL, "ewk_inf_scout",12)

set your lua up like that and it might show your teamname.

That might just be crazy enough to WORK! Thx.

You can also set the team name in the common|side|rep|name. works like a charm, when I put in the setteamname, I get the dreaded [NULL]. THanks for puttin me on the right track man!

no problem, did you get everything working then? if so, glad to help

yep works like a charm. I just ended up changing the rep side name/names.

SO what did you need to need to change a teams name from like rep to guardians??(Not null but guardians)

editlocalize. then say rep is the team your changing. goto common|side|rep|name. you can edit the name to guardians,(which will make it look like this:
Guardians
Cis
Auto Select
Spectate)
then edit the firstname to whatever, then lastname... longname...etc..etc..etc. munge enjoy.

First and last name?? what do you mean?

I don't know how to make it anymore clearer.
1)Run editlocalize
2) Click +common, Click +sides, Click the side you want to change
Example: For my map it was originally Republic Vs. Cis. I needed it to be Gungans Vs Cis. I hit the +rep because republic is the default in the mission.lua.
3) Click Name_M, CHange it to "Guardians", for your map, mine was Gungans, click Name, Change it to "Guardians", Click longname, again, change it.
4) If you want to edit the names of the guys that you kill, or kill you in game, then click +firstnames, and change them/delete them, then click +longnames, edit.
5) Munge the map.

If you do this, When you pick sides it should display like this:

Guardians
Cis
Auto Select
Spectate

I already did that just didnt knew what you meant with last-first name but thanks everything is working now.
