Naming Soldiers

(1/2) > >>

Leader Desslok:
Is there a text file within the game listing the names of all the soldiers scientists pilots etc from which the game draws, and if so is it editable? I would like to go in and replace those names with my own custom names, instead of renaming them on the fly during game play. But I'm not sure where to look for the text file (if it in fact exists). Thanks in advance. Great game BTW.

Download this file, modify it and place into base/ufos/team_names.ufo under your user directory (You might need to turn on "show hidden files" option in your file browser to find it).

Wolls:
If you want to use complete names you can erase all of the lastname entries and then use the female / male entries for the full names.

Just leave a set of the quotation marks in -->  lastname (   ""   )
Or it'll break on you.

Leader Desslok:
Thank you for your help. I downloaded the file. Edited it to my liking, and then found the directory you mentioned doesn't exist. Perhaps I should have mentioned that I was running 2.4. I even did a full hard drive search for a file by that name and got nothing but the newly downloaded file. So I then when into the directory where the file was supposed to be, I had to create the Ufo directory and copied the file there. It didn't work. I would upgrade to 2.5, but...I was setting up my new Dell 8400 and when I moved my older computer I accidently broke my USB wi-fi antenna so I can no longer get that computer online. I swear if it ain't one thing it's another. (Third antenna I've broken in the last year). And I can't get the game (2.4 or 2.5 to work on the Dell 8400 because of a graphics card issue. Someone...please shoot me through the head.

The original file is not there. It is packed into one of our pk3 packages (named 0ufos.pk3 probably) but how the game works is if it finds a config file like this in a suitable place it can extend/override settings from the original one.
