    Default Chaning names of units

    Hey, I want to change the name of the "dismounted" units in the game.. I've found the export_descr_unit and how to change the name there, but my game crashes on start - do I have to rename something else? Like the armour_ug_models perhaps?

    Thanks in advance.

    Ah yes .. sorry I forgot about that.. Just delete this then.

    - if it's not deleted and some else is wondering the same I can add that you have to find export_units. txt under Data\Text\ and edit the name outside of the { }

    Modifying the EDU won't help in renaming units.

    What you must do is go to the "export_units.txt" in the "data/text" folder, use the "Dictionary" line entry from the unit-you-want-to-change's EDU entry to find the unit description in the "export_units.txt," and then change the name outside of the { }

    Never alter the content inside the { } or you will get errors
