    Default Canīt change Faction Name in Retrofit Mod

    Hi everybody, first sorry for my bad english. I am a Brazilian fan of this game and I like to make some changes here in my mod. The mod that I have is Retrofit, for me is a fantastic mod, but I canīt find the expanded.txt file in text folder. I canīt change the factionīs name without this file and the retrofit for some reason donīt have this. Help me? One more time, sorry for bad english. Thanks

    You have to unpack the game and then transform the bin file with "alpaca's MTW2 .strings.bin converter". Have a look in the download section for this tool.

    I try this before, but the retrofit mod donīt have a expanded file. The otherīs kingdoms mod have the file, like teutonic,crusader,americas,britania. They have the file,but the retrofit donīt.

    If Retrofit doesn't have either a bin or a txt file in the data\text folder then they are using the vanilla version of the file. Unpack blabla (my previous post)

    In vanilla donīt have the file too. The file apears in mods of the Kingdoms, crusaders,americas,britania and teutonic. And now?

    I unpack yesterday for use kingdoms units in Retrofit. And the expanded file continues only in the mods of kingdoms. Not in vanilla or in Retrofit.

    Let's start again:

    - Unpack M2TW (NOT any Kingdoms mods) by going to tools\unpacker and clicking on 'unpack_all'.
    - After that you will find 'expanded.txt.strings.bin' in the data\text folder.
    - Download 'Alpaca's MTW2 .strings.bin converter' from the download section.
    - Extract the converter into data\text.
    - Click 'convert_all'
