where in the localizations do I change era names?

go into the localization tool in your maps folder (editlocalize.bat) and go to:
-common
-era
-----
just there

I tried that, on the map selection screen it didn't work. Anyone have a second opinion?

Do you have the version 1.3 patch? If so, there's a tutorial on that in the documentation.

GCW, too.

The only way you can change an era's or game mode's name is through the v1.3 patch. You could change the strings using the localization tool, but that won't change what is displayed in the shell screens.

This probably requires the v1.3 patch, but...

Go to addme.lua

Now find your missionselect list and after "dnldable = 1," copy & paste this:

Code: Select all

change = {
mode_MODE = { name="NEW MODE NAME", about="NEW MODE DESCRIPTION",},
},
}

Now save.

Here's an example:

Code: Select all

sp_missionselect_listbox_contents[sp_n+1] = {
isModLevel = 1,
mapluafile = "HMC%s_%s",
era_c = 1,
era_g = 1,
mode_con_c = 1,
mode_con_g = 1,
mode_ctf_c = 1,
mode_ctf_g = 1,
mode_1flag_c = 1,
mode_1flag_g = 1,
mode_c_c = 1,
mode_eli_c = 1,
mode_eli_g = 1,
mode_hunt_c = 1,
mode_hunt_g = 1,
mode_xl_c = 1,
mode_xl_g = 1,
dnldable = 1,
change = {
mode_c = { name="Hero Conquest", about="Play as a Jedi or a Sith as you battle to capture and defend command posts",},
},
}
mp_n = table.getn(mp_missionselect_listbox_contents)
mp_missionselect_listbox_contents[mp_n+1] = sp_missionselect_listbox_contents[sp_n+1]

So now ingame, instead of a campaign level, I get a conquest game with heroes. Pretty simple.

I think the same code with mode instead of era works as well.
