How to save changes in *.loc file?

[p.jakub88]

I. Introduction.

Those *.loc files held data about the events, all messages that are triggered automatically, etc.

It is important to know what language version ETW uses, to find proper *.pack file to edit.

In my case ( i have English version of ETW ) this is a patch_en.pack and local_en.pack files.

Important: Before any changes make a backup of your *.pack file!

=================================================================================================================================

II. Main Part.

1) Download Pack File Manager 1.13 from TWCenter forum.

2) Open in example patch_en.pack from ETW data directory using PFM 1.13.

3) Find in example a file called: "localisation.loc".

4) Export this file as TSV somewhere to your hard drive.

5) Open this file with Excel ( part of Microsoft Office tool ).

6) Make changes and save it.

7) Open once more patch_en.pack.

8) Replace the original localisation.loc with the changed one.

9) Save the changes ( make sure you unchecked the CA only to read option first ).

=================================================================================================================================

III. Another way to make this:

--> Create a new *.pack file using PFM 1.13 and add a directory with this edited *.loc file.

=================================================================================================================================

IV. Summary.

Note: Editing the localisation.loc file in patch_en.pack file using PFM is possible, but you will never had a possibility to save the changes ( new rows, etc ).

This is only an example of *.loc file that could be edited and saved.
