What is the UPC?
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
The UPC project is necessary for all languages except English, because of added custom texts to the game by modders. Most of these texts are from Unit Pack Mods, Gameplay Mods and Overhaul Mods. Without the UPC you can not see these custom unit names, descriptions and other texts if you don't use the English language version.
Mods are not compatible if they all include an own language file which contains the file localisation.loc. Therefore this mod aims to create an universal localisation.loc file that can be used to make as many mods as possible compatible. Then you can see all custom unit names, descriptions and other texts from the included mods.
You can switch your language in the Steam options of Shogun 2. If you switch to English, then all custom texts appear without the need of the UPC. This is because only the English language file system can directly read the custom texts from our mods. All other languages ignore the included custom texts. Therefore we make this UPC project. Each language needs a separate UPC language version.
Basically you don't need the English UPC-SHO version, but I uploaded it for other modders.
The UPC doesn't contain any mods and you must download the mods from the related sites. It contains only the custom texts of the included mods.
Please note that not all mods in each language are translated, but all custom entries are included in English and you can see at least English texts.
There is a little rule in the UPC history. "It is better to see at least an English text, as there would be otherwise just a blank text."
