How to edit local_en.pack (faction description) in 2022?

[scaniavikings]

I have PFM 4.1.2 and I have tried:

1. Exporting the TSV: https://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?397693-How-to-save-changes-in-*-loc-file

2. Saving the local_en.pack file as written here: https://www.twcenter.net/forums/show...1#post14561981

None of them works for me. Is anyone able to do it and if so - how?

Btw I am trying to mod Imperial Destroyer mod.

the pre-loading faction information?

Correct! How do you edit them?

is simple, open EsfEditor and find the next column, in this case the one for Great Britain.

then open rpfm or PackFileManager and search in local_en the following column start_pos_factions_description_29

I used RPFM v.3

and used the "localisation.loc" file from the "patch_en.pack" file (extracted it) and then made a new mod a folder in the mod file called "text" then dragged n dropped the localisation.loc file in that folder. and now my mod superseeds the patch files.
It took some trial and error to find all the actual factions that play via the world map.
