How To Add New Historic Events

[numerosdecimus]

It's first time I've been trying to mod something. I followed your instructions, but I can't put to work.

Here's what I did:

I created a seperate folder.

I copied historic_events.txt.strings and descr events to this folder.

After I download the reader/editor program I opened it and opened the historic_events.txt.strings, but the format is different. The format you mentioned is in the historic_events folder. So now I'm confused with the instructions you gave.

Which of these files should I work with? Or both?

Edit: I have solved the problem I was having. Thanks for your instructions.

I just can't find historic_events.txt.strings!

hola/olá


it's in your TEXT folder

[juanguer]

i can't find it..... I unpacked..

[Swagger]

it's in the data

@juanguer - ignore Swagger. You can't see it because it isn't unpacked.

What you should see in the data\text folder is historic_events.txt.strings.bin

You need to download Alpaca's strings_bin_converter to convert this to the historic_events.txt file. Once its edited a new .bin file will be automatically created (just make sure the existing one isn't read only) providing the new text file is 'newer' than the existing .bin file.

i can't find it..... I unpacked..

wildog don't you see he said I UNPACKED ?



then there's no reason for he can't find the files

[juanguer]

In Clouds across europe there is no such thing as historic_events and vanila folder there in no TEXT folder!

[Swagger]

if you didn't unpacked then how can it be...

[wilddog]

wildog don't you see he said I UNPACKED ?

then there's no reason for he can't find the files

Swagger - I understand he said he unpacked (Although from the last note I'm not sure he had) however you seemed to miss the point that UNPACKING doesn't give you the historic_events.txt file it gives you historic_events.txt.strings.bin
So there's every reason why he can't find the file!

[juanguer]

i already manualy searched and windows searched and it doesn't find text in vanilla and historic_events.txt.strings.bin...

[juanguer]

can someone help me?

[wilddog]

can someone help me?

You haven't unpacked correctly. You should of got a data\text folder

[juanguer]

do I unpack again?

[wilddog]

You haven't unpacked correctly. You should of got a data\text folder

do I unpack again?

Thats what I would do but I've never had a problem unpacking it. it just takes a while to do it.

[juanguer]

done and I can see that stupid little demon now....
will the game work?

[wilddog]

juanguer - yes unpacking won't affect it. next take the.bin file convert it to the text file and amend the text file. You can place the text file into the mod folder it will re-generate the .bin file

[juanguer]

with the reader:
-when I save , when I open back it goes back to the vanilla version

with the converter:
-how do I convert back to .bin.string?
