NCP general Bios

Sat May 31, 2008 9:55 am

Hi there, I am going to try do the General Bios for Napoleons campaigns, I love the game and the engine it runs on so I think the game deserves it, I will do them when I have the time and it will be the most important generals first.

I have one question though, in what game derectory are the txt files located?
I have searched all through them and I cant find them

Thanks

Steven

Thanks for the involvement and sorry for the late answer.
The bios will be located in the strings file of the engine. At the time being, we use a huge excel file for this....

So here is my (simple) recomendation: take an excel file (or equivalent openoffice spreadsheet) and fill one column with the name and the other with the bio (in English)... then once we get it, we shall send you the original xls file where to integrate your work and use it in the game..
