[HELP] Renaming Factions

[Mooncabbage]

At the moment I am trying to rename the major factions as the first step in making them less special. I've created a mod that just includes the faction tables files, and have renamed the entries for screen_name and screen_adjective, but no changes have occured. At this stage I can't tell if the mod just isn't loading, or if I'm missing a db table I need to edit. Having not modded tw since Empire, I am hoping someone will have done something similar for atilla or rome II and can help me out.

Regards, Mooncabbage.

PS. I also tried altering the empire's primary and secondary colors, with no success, so it might be a mod loading issue?

PPS. I have now tried making the same kind of edits with CA's own TWeak tool, which apart from adding some localization files, didn't change much (I checked in PFM). After changing the primary and secondary colors of Reikland, I'm fairly confident the mod isn't being loaded for some reason.

Hey, Mooncabbage. It's been a while. Not since Empire, eh.

Here, try this: it's a little something that changes all the main faction names to: Couronne, Reikland, Karaz-a-Karak, 'Ardboyz, Von Carstein, and Chaos Undivided.

faction_names.zip

Enjoy.

PS -- Unzip it into your steamapps/common/Total War WARHAMMER/Data folder. Make sure to check the box in mod manager when launching the game.

Hey Vicar! Thanks for that. Actually I did eventually get it working last night. Seems to be an issue with loading mods in steam, which requires running steam as administrator.

Didn't think of Chaos Undivided or 'Ard Boyz tho, so I'm stealing those. If you have any other genius suggestions, I have a WIP mod post up on these forums, I'd love to hear it.
