[Solved] Renaming ships

from Sins Forums

I apologize in advance if there has already been a post on this. I was unable to find it. skimmed threw past pages, and search option does not seem to be working for me.

So I am trying to rename the type of fighter craft speciffically for carriers. For example I am trying to change it from a bomber to "name". After the modifications they still pop up in the game as bombers, both on the carrier and in space. What am I missing or doing wrong?

 

Modifications to the CAPITALSHIP_TECHCARRIER entity file:

  • squadTypeEntityDef:0 "SquadTechName"

 

Modifications to the SQUADTECHName entity file:

  • fighterEntityDef "FighterTechName"
  • role "Name"
  • statCountType "SquadName"

Modifications to the FighterTechName entity file:

  • None

Its none of those!!!

What youre looking for is:

nameStringID "IDS_SQUADPHASEBOMBER_NAME"
descriptionStringID "IDS_SQUADPHASEBOMBER_DESC"

and to change ANYTHING RELATED TO NAMES AND DESCRIPTIONS !!! ITS ONLY STRING FILE!!!!!

 

simply copy-paste one of the IDS's and rename the Value that will be set (Value = name of the vessel, ability,etc.)

Same thing for ALL ENTITIES! Open it up and look up its IDS!
