gah, ok something isn't working right.

i've made my changes to the English.UTXT file and saved the contents.

however, in-game must be using a cache of that file, because it doesn't reflect the updated contents of the English.UTXT file.

anyone know how to fix this?
I have this same problem! What's going on? Any ideas?

Also, does anyone know where the code is for "Enemy Asset Destroyed"? I need a specific line, or something I can search for, since I can't find it myself.
Its in the "English_Patch.utxt" file.
This is what I have for it:

HUD_HUD_DESTROY_STRATEGIC     You destroyed a commander asset (§C1001+1§C1001)


To clarify:

EU & AF codes are in english_mappacks.utxt (as is Jalalabad if you really want to change something on it)
Vanilla codes are in English.utxt
SF codes are in XPEnglish.utxt
Assets are in English_Patch.utxt (as is Wake if you really want to change something on it)

Check out my Localization files. If your too lazy to change yours yourself, I have a Tutorial on how to download my Files and how to add them to yours.

They are pretty funny, but it might take some time to learn what each weapon is because I changed some of the names.  Just go to BFHQ and look at the weapons on the first page.  I also have a question.  If I change the Localization files in Special Forces, will it show up on the normal BF2?  Like if I changed the "F 2000" to "a cat", will "a cat" show up in normal BF2 instead of "F 2000"?

This has been asked a few times, and nobody ever knows.  Ive tried with diff codes, but have never had any luck.  I dont really know if its possible.  If you figure it out, please tell us all.  I'll give karma to the first who can figure out the code for green or blue.

OK.....I have backed up the file and know how to edit the file, but whenever I open the file with note pad, as you should, it does not say English.utxt in the top left hand corner....mine just says English, so when I have edited it and saved it, it changes to a new type of file and screws up my whole text in my game.

Do i need a new type of notepad to do this editing or a type of program

Hope someone can help

cheers

The only color that you can use when modding your localization files is ORANGE.

Other people have said that the other colors are server side, ie green is for squad, etc. which means you can't use them.

yes the patch only make changes in maps and some lokal files, b4 patching make a backup of your changed files so you know what you done and thern copy and paste it(not over new things)

yeppers!

the thing you have to remmeber is that ONLY YOU can see these, noeone else against you can! So you DO NOT have to worry about being called a cheater or anything, this is 100% safe!
i dont see it cheating cause you havent got an unfair advantage all you've done is customize ur HUD

I dont understand this.

The "code" in the config file is "§0#PLAYERNAME1# [§0#WEAPON#§1] #PLAYERNAME2#" for the message in the upper left corner (Who kills who). But what is the "code" for the kill message (You killed NAME) ?

If your resolution is set too high, your graphics card may make the text look a bit fuzzy.

What about black color in the localizations ?

[url=http://shrani.si/?45/2x/3USNKdHK/screen007.jpg][img]http://shrani.si/t/45/2x/3USNKdHK/screen007.jpg[/img][/url]


HUD_TEXT_MENU_YOU_ARE_IN_MAN_DOWNHUDO SI RANJENČ

The letter which make it black is  Č   !!THE LETTERS AFTER č WILL NOT BE SEEN!! (so Č should be the last letter)

My localizations are in Slovenian language of course, so there is HUDO SI RANJEN where it should be YOU ARE CRITICALLY WOUNDED, so your line will be :

HUD_TEXT_MENU_YOU_ARE_IN_MAN_DOWNYOU ARE CRITICALLY WOUNDEDČ

if you don't have letter Č on your keyboard, you should copy/paste from here:    Č

Bump.

I don't know if it has been discussed yet or not, but how do you make "You killed (person)" big?
