Giving names to new units

**RO Citizen** · November 11, 2009, 09:36 AM

Hi! I d-loaded DB Editor 1.7 both Localization Manager (goooood programs) and also looked in some tutorials. But I still do something wrong. I made my units, they work fine, except their names.I made a new movie pack with an edited 1.4 (my ETW was 1.5 when I finished the job) and put the good names in the mod file/unit tables, but it didn't worked. I made the movie file a mod file, still didn't worked. Then I merged the 1.5 vanilla loc with my 1.4 modded one and imported TSV in patch_en.pack. Still doesn't work. Must I re-write all by hand in the vanilla 1.5 loc file or there is an easier way?

Anyone who helps gets +rep

You have to make a new _loc.pack (movie type) that will include the localisation.loc filre of patch_en.pack. On that you will add your new names. See the entries for vanilla units to figure out syntax. For every unit you have to make 3 entries. One is for the name and the other two for description (short and long).

Seems like I tried, but I'll try one more time. Thx. But can I copy-paste the records from one loc file to another (I tried merge files)

Here's the rep I promised
