You can change it in descr_character.txt.
You need to unpack to access the file.

what program would i use to unpack it

**Phoenicia** · September 01, 2007, 05:13 PM

You must use the unpacker.
You will find it in MTW2\tools\unpacker

There is a readme inside, it is easy to use.

To get them to show ingame you have to add this to the config file.

[io]
file_first = true

A nice big tutorial on how to do this is available in the tutorial section somewhere.

I'm glad you asked, I just love quoting myself. It's the first set of instructions in this thread.

where would i find this file then

**Steven_v** · September 03, 2007, 11:29 AM

well i found the folder, opened it with notepad but in the comand line where iam guesing it should go at the end and still no change. what could i be doing wrong?

Yes, you just need to put it in at the end. Copy and paste the example, it could be that you have put a space between characters or not done so. Make sure you change the file back to a config.

If this doesn't work, try making the changes and making the file read only (right click -> properties -> check the box).

Edit: You are using the Kingdoms config file aren't you?

**Steven_v** · September 03, 2007, 03:50 PM

how do i turn it back to a config

**Dick** · September 03, 2007, 03:57 PM

To edit a file the config file, you have to change the suffix to .txt . To change the file back to a config file, the suffix needs to be .cfg .

So, to edit the file it should be named medieval2.preferences.cfg.txt
To return the file to a config it needs to be named medieval2.preferences.cfg
