Rome 2 - Settlement Renaming Mod

[ScutumOfFaith]

Greetings,
I've noticed that, in many campaign based mods, the modder is able to rename the settlements. I'll find an example if needed, later. But is there any way I can rename my settlements? My guess is, most likely it is a mod, if not, please refer me to the right source.

Thanks in advance :)

I think there are one on the steam workshop?

[ScutumOfFaith]

Do you have a link or referal please?

Authentic Ancient World is working on the most extensive renaming of all Settlements and Regions yet, also on a new map. But until we are ready to release it I can give you this:

If you want to mod them you need to search for the db files:

text > db > regions.loc / provinces.loc / start_pos_settlements.loc

[ScutumOfFaith]

So is there anyway I can rename them to my own configuration?

[Hetairos]

If you want to mod them you need to search for the db files:

text > db > regions.loc / provinces.loc / start_pos_settlements.loc there you can change the names of the cities, Since you are new on TWC I assume you never modded. This is a total different story. You can learn modding here, the necessary tools are also to be found there (in your case its simply PFM (Pack File Manager)): http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forum...me-II-Workshop

If you havent modded other games so far and are completely neew to modding than you can use this overview guide for novice modders: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...1#post13924502

in PFM, You say I should go to text, but in what pack file...

[Hetairos]

local_en_Rome2.pack is the default game folder for it. but you want to create a new pack file and import the original files to your newly created pack file and edit them there. you don't want to edit the native files.

[ScutumOfFaith]

After text > db > regions.loc , I don't see provinces.loc

[Hetairos]

text > db > regions.loc (regions names)
text > db > provinces.loc (provinces names)
text > db > start_pos_settlements.loc (settlements names)

Thanks alec, you've helped me alot, you're actually growing quite famous on these forums.

[ScutumOfFaith]

It won't let me save the native pack , unless if it's a mod or movie. Do I make a seperate mod on it's own then?

[Hetairos]

Create your own mod, than add the necessary tables from the native file. you do never edit the native files.

[ScutumOfFaith]

I am unable to find the creative assembly kit, it just doesn't show up in the tools. I even tried it on a retail version , and that's another problem, it can't connect to steam, and can't get the Assembly Kit. Are there any off steam links?

[Hetairos]

you dont want AK, download PFM for that task

[ScutumOfFaith]

Alright, I've been using PFM this whole time, so just making sure I was on the right track.

[Hetairos]

you are definitely if you have problems you should regularly take a look in the workshop tutorials and resources forum. I also posted you the modding guide for novices which has some awesome tutorials in there for good learning.

[ScutumOfFaith]

Thank you so much alec, I really appreciate your help. Heh, it worked.
