Posted: Wed Jan 27, 2010 12:44 pm
For designers of scenario who want to rename a great number of units on map, without rename EACH unit individually and save time, just follow these process :
1°/Open the "Game fixed" xml file in the directory of the concerned scenario (important : save all the files of your original scenario before, including all non xml files - it's very important in case you shoud have to restablish old version of the scenario)
2°/This Game fixed file must be opened with bloc note (better than to use xml editor in this case : bloc note give smore security in the operation (because some xml editors may cause crash in this operation)
3°/In the file, open the "replace" function. In "search", enter exactly that :
name="X" (you must enter exactly that : name="X" and not just enter "X")
X is the name of the units have in the editor of the game
4°/In "replace" box, enter : name="Y" (you must enter exactly that : name="Y", and not just enter "Y")
Y is the new name you want for the concerned units.
5°/Then, click ok and lets bloc notes do the work
6°/At end, save the file (use directly "register" command, not "register as")
If you go in the editor, you see that all concerned units have now their new name : you can rename 10, 20, 50, 100 units in a few seconds.
