along the lines of a guide i have spent the last 90 minutes reading through loc files, what follows are preliminary notes from 3 files only...this is going to take a lot of work, and i would appreciate any other contributions, and ESPECIALLY if crosscheck my findings and add any notes you feel make understanding the content of any file clearer to you. ============= Battle.txt // In Game Text messages includes events, morale states and multiplayer messages // Map Editor text messages, including model names, if it becomes possible to add more models successfully this is where you will need to define the model names. // Names of battle formations If you change a formation and want to change the name, do that here. also contains clues on what custom battle result triggers are available, but not how to implement such triggers changes.txt This file contains bits and pieces of everything, i am unsure of the exact purpose of this file i suspect that the game loads the other files, then reads this and overwrites changes (in memory) using this file. Thus when you make a change elswhere you will need to check this file thoroughly - it is very very mish-mash disorganised!!! NOTE:- contains the following list :- @["region_lost_title_xzy"] @{"Region Zero Lost!"} @{"Scotland Lost!"} etc etc Unsure of where to change region names at this time Unsure of effect of changing this list. // New Faction descriptions. These have been moved and updated from startpos.txt. @["FSM_faction_info_faction_ALMOHAD_EARLY"] etc etc starpos.txt // Era descriptions EG:- @["Era_Description_EARLY"] EG:- @["Era_Description_HIGH"] EG:- @["Era_Description_LATE"] can add more descriptions? UNKNOWN // Faction descriptions - Early Era EG:- @["FSM_faction_info_faction_ALMOHAD_EARLY"] // Faction descriptions - High Era EG:- @["FSM_faction_info_faction_ALMOHAD_HIGH"] // Faction descriptions - Late Era EG:- @["FSM_faction_info_faction_ALMOHAD_LATE"] REDUNDANT ?? = UNKNOWN ========= will look some more when my eyes stop hurting :lol Some More Descriptions.txt some of the descriptions on this file may be made redundant by entries in the changes file. Check both files for discrepencies when editing. //TITLE DESCRIPTIONS //UNIT DESCRIPTIONS //NAVAL DESCRIPTIONS //AGENT DESCRIPTIONS //MISC - Crusade, jihad and some tech tree descriptions //BUILDING DESCRIPTIONS and building completed/destroyed texts Events.txt Strategic Game event messages, agent mission results, harvest results, heir and factionleader events, other faction offers ceasefire/alliance, break treaty/declare war, personality descriptions, storms, historical events, etc. litterly hundreds of events. frontend.txt menu text, multiplayer, tutorial messages etc. global.txt various small comment text glorygoals.txt includes, naturally the Glory goal messages, also has a section //Region Conditions start here: ["GG_AFRICA"] {"Africa"} etc. this may need to be modified if province/region names are changed elsewhere - UNCERTAIN HistCampaigns.txt Predefined Historical Campaigns text. Historical.txt Predefined Historical Battles text. JMTutorial.txt the campaign tutorial text. maps.txt this contains ONLY Castle map descriptions. names.txt region and sea area names, faction and faction leader names, Castle names, forename, surnames and titles (as is "Sir" etc.), Princess names, Unit and Building names, Office names - (may be changed in the campmap startpos files) Tradable Goods and Resources names - (unsure of effects of changes to these names) !!! @["religions_xzy"] @{"Pagan"} @{"Catholic"} @{"Orthodox"} @{"Islamic"} @{"Jewish"} @{"Heretic"} This seems to indicate we may be able to change a religions name, but more importantly we may be able to have a Heretic Religion in game!! if you change any of these there are several "lists" in this file that will ALL need to be updated. |
