Xerxes the Great Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 It will be very cool and a bit of personal touch if one could rename the generic names for at least a few of the personnel such as tank commanders to reflect the player and player's name. It will make it a bit more interesting to have your name show up when you mouse over the tank commander rather than say Ditemar Deutschlander or Anatoly sovietsky! These little details make a big difference when making movies in Kursk and document battle results (bragging rights)!! If anyone has figure out how to edit these names, please let me know. Much obliged, Over and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomberburn Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I agree with you it would be great to add a personal or custom touch to the names. Hopefully someone could figure out how or create a mod that allowed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneaksie Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 You can rename any unit or soldier - left-click on it's name in main panel or Staff window before battle, enter a new one and press Enter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerxes the Great Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 Thanks Sneaksie. I was able to change the personnel names in the staff window. I play mostly LAN multiplayer with my comrades. It will be more personal now when I conquer their positions and destroy their tanks!! However, I should now be even more careful to protect the tank I command since the tank commander bears my name!!

BodyBag Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Furthermore, I think that the German names are pretty strange and spelt wrong. So what I do is to take random names from the Bundesliga (football) and use them. Now my Pz Cmdr have names like Lukas Podolski and Michael Ballack Is there a txt file where all the names are stored? Maybe we could edit that... Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneaksie Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 This file (Data\Local\en\names.utf8) is stored inside data.sfs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BodyBag Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 And how do you open a .sfs file? Isn't that a Linux file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneaksie Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 No, its an archive of some sort. There is an unofficial extractor by Dr.Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
