Title: Editing unit info
Post by: ErikModi on August 08, 2015, 10:01:58 AM

So, got a bit into editing some XMLs for taste, and was now wondering about changing the text box for units, where it displays their name and some information.  Which file do I need to edit, and do I need any special tools?

All the text strings are in MasterTextFile_English.dat, for which you'll need a .dat editor.  The xml entry for each unit has xml tags that tell the game which text strings from the text file to use.

Thanks!

EDIT:  Uh, so, where can I find a DAT editor that makes sense of the gobbledegook?
