Does anyone know how to alter the text that goes with the "Good Against... Bad Against..." chart of a ship. Where it says something like "Armed with 2 heavy turbolaser and 3 proton torpedo launchers...". I wanted to change the text on a few ships, but I'm not sure if it's possible. Any ideas?

"...GameData/Data/Text/MasterTextFile_ENGLISH.DAT"

You will need the .DAT editor from Empire at War Nexus to edit the file.

When inside, just scroll down to the unit descriptions at the bottom of the file. You can edit anything inside fairly easily. I don't think you can cock anything up either, which is good for new modders and whatnot.


:vsd:

Its pretty simple, but it took me forever to figure out how to do it.

You just need to alter the masterTEXTFILE located in "Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Empire at War\GameData\Data\Text." Its a .dat file so you will need a dat editor. You can find one here- http://pff.swrebellion.com/index.php?topic=2663.0)

To find out what line you need to change, look at the the line <Encyclopedia_Text> **** </Encyclopedia_Text> in the appropriate XML. For example, Home One would be <Encyclopedia_Text> TEXT_TOOLTIP_HOME_ONE </Encyclopedia_Text>.

Just FYI, the unit name is <Text_ID>TEXT_UNIT_HOME_ONE</Text_ID>.

EDIT: DOH! Seems mandead beat me to it.

Alright, thanks. Wow, that was a whole lot easier than I'd expected!
