Commissar Posted February 17, 2001 Share Posted February 17, 2001 What file can you modify in order to add different personal names for your truppen? I am assuming you can since CM seems so open to modifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Weiss Posted February 17, 2001 Share Posted February 17, 2001 I don't know, but I'll certainly second that desire. I'd also like to personalize the names within CM. ------------------ "Gentlemen, you may be sure that of the three courses open to the enemy, he will always choose the fourth." -Field Marshal Count Helmuth von Moltke, (1848-1916) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Steiner Posted February 17, 2001 Share Posted February 17, 2001 Hi Commissar how are you by the way ? Have been using the editor a lot today and found that you can edit names if you open a scn in the editor then select 'Units' then highlight a unit on the OOB menu and at bottom of screen you should see an 'Edit' button this takes you to screen where you can edit various items one being Unit Name (default says Standard change it to Special and edit as you want) Note that CM will not allow you to change ranks for a unit.

109 Gustav Posted February 17, 2001 Share Posted February 17, 2001 You also can't edit the default names. Hopefully this will change in CM2, as I'm starting to get a little tired of Sgt. WightWynn, Cpl. Shultz, Obj. Steiner etc. ------------------ Well my skiff's a twenty dollar boat, And I hope to God she stays afloat.

Commissar Posted February 17, 2001 Author Share Posted February 17, 2001 Damn, the one thing in CM we don't get to modify. Oh well. Steiner, I think you are confusing me with THE Commissar(notice the The). I got the name first but the other guy posts a lot more than I do.

The Commissar Posted February 17, 2001 Share Posted February 17, 2001 Commissar, You cant actually change the troop "name" (Joe Blow), but I believe in the editor you can change what the unit was called (Paratrooper). Steiner, Yub, its me you wanted! My bloody computer is in repairs, hardware did not cooperate and Im sitting here on a friends computer for the past 2 weeks. Plus I lost my e-mail thanks to ICQ erasing my accopunt *sigh* Hope you still got that file..

Sgt Steiner Posted February 17, 2001 Share Posted February 17, 2001 Hi all Commissars and assorted others Sorry for the mix up and to THE Commissar I still have our game file for when you back up and running. Actually there is another Sgt. Steiner (note subtle . which differs from my plain version)who frequents this forum.

Commissar Posted February 17, 2001 Author Share Posted February 17, 2001 Oh yeah, the "." makes all the difference. At least "The" is a lot more noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorak Posted February 17, 2001 Share Posted February 17, 2001 Hello People. You can change the names of your HQ units in the editor (if thats what your asking). Just click the HQ unit and hit enter to edit it. It has a place for default name, or you can type a name for the commander in there.
