I want to change what is said when you load a map/server. For example, when you first start a new game it goes through "Initializing Resources..." and several other things.

Where would I look if I wanted to change "Initializing Resources..." to "Populating Hair Follicles" etc. Point me in the right direction please?

THANKS!

I believe (after having a look at Metastasis' directories) there's a file in the MyMod\resources directory called "gameui_english.txt" Open that, and there's a HUGE list of stuff there. Your inquiry is located within this set:

Code: Select all

"LoadingProgress_SpawningServer"   "Starting local game server..."
"LoadingProgress_LoadMap"      "Loading world..."
"LoadingProgress_PrecacheWorld"      "Initializing world..."
"LoadingProgress_LoadResources"      "Loading resources..."
"LoadingProgress_SignonLocal"      "Initializing resources..."
"LoadingProgress_SignonDataLocal"   "Initializing game data..."

Try changing the wording and see if it does anything. If you don't have the gameui_english text file, PM me with your e-mail, and I can send you the one I have.

Well thats simple and obvious! Nice find, I'll investigate further later.

It should work. For example, I've changed my Easy, Medium and Hard description to something more groovy
You can change a lot of things in that file to make your mod more unique.

Like if you don't want it to say: "NEW GAME" in the menu, you can change it to "NEW ADVENTURE" or something similar.

everything like that is within the resource folder if you create your own mod. Just open them in notepad.
