Localizing Locals (FAQ)

[Teancum]

I can't remember off hand, but I do know that if you make a new project for BF1 in BFBuilder, you can hit the localize button and it will show you the layout.

I think it goes level->local (for the actual team name) and level->locals (for what shows up in-game)

[Darth-Derkie]

It's a bit different in SWBFII I think, when I press the + for level, it only shows the map names. But I'll try.

[Rends]

not level but entity:

[Darth-Derkie]

Yes, the geonosian is already under entity. When you aim at a geonosian, it will say geonosian, but when I kill him it says "Darth-Derkie killed [NULL].

[OOM-9]

in SWBF2 there is another subdivision, entity-> <your local side foldername here> -> <your fellas odf name>

[Darth-Derkie]

Yes, the geonosian is already there. It is under "geo", "inf_geonosian".

[Teancum]

yes, be sure to add level->[mapname]->local (put Geonisian) and level->[mapname]->locals (put Geonosians -- plural) The entity covers just what the individual is -- like "Stormtrooper" or whatever.

[Darth-Derkie]

Indeed, it worked! Thanks all.

What program are you using to view the .cfg files like that?

[Teancum]

in your data_[projectname] folder, run editlocalize.bat

I also copied the language tool from the ToolsFL folder into my data_mod localise folder, ran it, and got a massive list of options.

When I run the edit localize program in my data_XXX folder I can not see my custom side info. I can only see the wrold name and description for my map. I looked in entity and it was not there. Any ideas?

You mean create a key in localize tool?

[Rends]

Of course!
Create them like it did in the screenshot.

[TAWArtemis]

I did. It failed.

FYI I see every asset int the game but mine. I added mine and it still failed.

Excellent, I think this answers one of my '3 script questions' questions. I think we need a topic with a list and discription of what all the 'smaller' tools do.

[Penguin]

would you know how to rename/name custom stuff ((weapons, stuff like that))?

[Teancum]

@ Artemis -- be sure to check the 'localize' checkbox when you munge. I forgot to at first and it drove me nuts.
