    Default Names.txt

    I've looked everywhere and it seems that no one has an upload for this file. ive wanted to change names in m2tw since it came out but have never been able to get this file. i know there are tutorials out there for converting the strings.bin file thing to just a normal .txt file but im no interested in downloading a bunch of virus filled tools from various websites on the internet. i would be very much delighted if someone would take pity on me and simply upload a vanilla names.txt file for me to download.

    please and thank you.

    hi itachi


    this is what you need

    http://www.twcenter.net/forums/downl...o=file&id=1006


    simply drop it into your data/text folder, unzip it and run the .bat file


    but to change names you need to unpack the game, and edit descr_names.txt

    the names.txt is the interface, or the text that shows in game (as a character name), the descr_names.txt is what the game engine reads

    There is no vanilla names.txt file, only string.bin.

    And if you don't want to download tools, then you won't get far with modding. It goes without saying, that anyone who downloads a tool with a suspicious AV warning will let everyone know. So you are pretty safe on this site. 10756 downloads as of today without a complaint should be safe, wouldn't you agree?

    Actually when it comes to copyright in this situation, it is only the text-structure the creator has
    copyright on, break it and it's released from it's copyright

    It's full of names, and names are freewares as far as I know

    ive used that convert thing, it doesnt work for me, and i dont feel like downloading that python thing. ive downloaded that before from the same site that it lists and it was full of viruses.

    i take it no one can help me? its illegal to upload a names.txt right after its been converted from the strings.bin format? that sounds like bs to me.

    That "python thing" is from a legitimate site. This is the 2.6 version you need.

    Quick advice: if you are scared like that about viruses, then you shouldn't be modding.
    Or get the WOT (Web of Trust) plug in for your browser.
