Creating smaller/differently named localisation.loc files?

[the_mango55]

Anyone know how to do this?

I have figured out how to make smaller db files (although it might not be the easiest way, someone should make a tutorial of that)

But whenever I try to do the same with the localisation.loc file it gives me an unhandled exception error. It says

Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
Parameter name: index.

Also, let me know if I'm doing this (and creating new db files) the hard way. These are my steps:

1. extract the file from the pack
2. go to where i extracted it
3. rename it
4. add it to the mod pack
5. export tsv
6. delete all lines except those I have modded
7. import tsv

This is actualy the way to go, for the tutorial you've done it:

rename the exported files (in windows) -> import them in your mod-> delete unused rows after modding ->save as mod->enjoy.

There is nothing hard really.
There's no solution for the loc file by now, it desn't act like the db

Ah, so for now if you stack mods on top of one another, only one of them will have the new names and descriptions?

Easiest way to get around the overwrite issue;

Create your moded localisation.loc, add it (with ALL the informtion in it) to your new pack, then save the pack as a patch.

I haven't tried with two localisations, but this at least loads a full localisation and does not mess with vanilla files.

Being as it's a patch, I would assume it would overwrite in priority order as the mod order does.

Hope this helps!

That would work for me, but I'm trying to make a mod and release it.

I don't want it overwriting people's installations, and adding the localization file will make the mod like 10x the size it would otherwise be.

It will be larger, yes, but as a patch pack it can be uninstalled by removing it.

I have been trying to make it work, and have had no success, I will keep folks updated and hopefully we can find a way to use fragment localisation files.
