Posted: Fri Aug 21, 2009 1:48 pm
Part One:
if you want this to be a global Mod,Download Battlebelk's core tool:http://www.filefront.com/13516141/core.lvl.zip/ if not,skip ahead to part two.
You do the localization like in rends tutorial as if you are doing it for a map then you munge that map you then open the folder for your map (not the one in addon the unmunged folder) open the _BUILD _PC folder then the Common folder the the munged folder you should see files called stuff like german.loc and french.loc copy all the files that have a .loc at the end. Open the core lvl tool and open the munged folder paste the .loc files in there say yes to overwrite. Open the core.lvl tool and double click on munge when it is finished the new core lvl will be in the core folder.Then put the core.lvl under Star Wars Battlefront/GameData/Data/_LVL_PC dont forget to make a backup!
Part Two:Re-Locolizing Kill Messages(so and so killed so and so, so and so killed so and so[TK] so and so killed himself)
Changing Killed Message
right click blank space,Add Route Level Scope.Name it game.Right click it,Add Scope,name it infomsg.then right click that and add a new key and name it killed.locolize any way you want.i did it like this %s OWNED! %s (note,you need those 2 %s',as they are variable for the game to read.)
Changing Killed Himself Message
Do All the above steps then make a new key named sucide.i put this:
%s Comitted Sucide!
Changing Teamkill Message
do all the steps for changing kill message then make a key named teamkill,again locolize however you like i did this: %s freakin teamkilled!
it should look something like this:
