Different names for the same-game mode.

Is this possible to have different names for the same game-mode depending the map?

I have multiple tdm script/mode, one for each stock map, and i want to call the one for Coruscant "Order 66" for exemple. The others will stay as "Team DM" since the name correspond to the map (i.e Felucia).

I don't think that it's possible, try to do an other game mode with the same properties excepted that it's not a 'classic' TDM and then rename it through the editlocalize, it might work

its totally possible...
and fairly easy if you have ZERTEDS 1.3 patch... just go into the Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData\addon\AAA-v1.3patch\docs\howtos
look for a file called "how to change an era or gamemodes name" everything you need to know is in that file. If you change the modes name you will have to create a localized string for the mode as well otherwise the default name will show on its loading screen in the upper right corner.

[EDIT] it is important to note, when I did the new gamemodes in Scarif Cargo zone I created a seperate block of code in the addme and instead of naming Cargo Zone as brs2 I named it a seperate 3 letter name (SCZ) im not sure if this is required but I did so so it used a seperate block in the addme to make a second line for its own gamemodes.

you can find a list of gamemode names supported by the 1.3 patches changes in Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData\addon\AAA-v1.3patch\ and look for a file called shell.lvlchangelog.txt
