Editing in-game text?

Sun Nov 01, 2015 2:03 pm

Guys, does anyone know how to edit the text in the game? I am talking about unit names, scenario descriptions, etc. since I have noticed quite a few typos here and there.

Plus, some of the German names are wrong. I wanted to change them myself, rather than waiting for a patch that may or may not appear.

Thanks :)

Most, if not all text is in LocalStrings_EAW.csv in the \EAW\Settings folder.

Best way is to download the DataBase and edit the LocalStrings_EAW_vxx.xls found there, then "saveAs csv" with the separaor defined as ;

it gets ugly, but you can directy edit the strings file.....
Don't touch the first entry in a line, as that is the "alias" that is referenced.
Don't delete anything dsurrounded by ; as that separates the languages, and there must always be the correct number of fentries per line.
Always ask yourself: "Am I part of the Solution?" If you aren't, then you are part of the Problem!
