Color Code

Btw, the code isn't like in BF2... They have changed it..

It will be the same in the orignal BF2142 when its coming out, so you can just insert it there when you have it..

MAKE BACKUP!!!
Edit**** Color Code ****Edit

Ok, first you have to find your Localization folder, same as before. (Battlefield 2142 (Demo)\mods\bf2142\Localization)

Open the "strings.csv" file (you can use Notepad or what ever you like, as long as you can open that file and see the text. I use Excel becouse of the setup it is in the file)

Search for the old stuff.. e.g: §0#PLAYERNAME1# [§1#WEAPON#§0] #PLAYERNAME2#

Now, you can't just add this line §C1001 anymore... They have changed the color code there...
Its now |C1001 insted of §C1001

Say that you want to change the WEAPON text to orange (again)

Just change the §1 and §0 to |C1001, and it will look like this: §0#PLAYERNAME1# [|C1001#WEAPON#|C1001] #PLAYERNAME2#

You will now have the ornage color...

Here are 2 SS

Here is the one with the BF2 code:

Well there are some here that don't know how to do it, what code it is and so.. and like I said the code is changed so you can't add the same old stuff §C1001

That's cool, does it apply to the rest of the stuff as well, like the BF2 localization changes?

PhaxeNor: :D; +119|6415|Norway | Unkown

Yes you can use on the rest of the stuff too, but like I said, you have to use this code: |C1001 and not this one §C1001

Great, when the retail game comes out does anybody feel like doing a full localization file job? I'm way too lazy for that

Yes, everything is almost the same as before.. just that they doesn't have language folders, just one file with all the languages in it..

Was changing stuff in the localization and spotted this

lol

If you see a "2" next to a player's name, this means they are veterans from Battlefield 2(TM). So, either be extra careful around those vets, or go after them extra hard to welcome them to the future. (30)

yup, have seen that.. but if you look even closer on that "line"

TEXT_gametip30 If you see a "2" next to a player's name, this means they are veterans from Battlefield 2(TM). So, either be extra careful around those vets, or go after them extra hard to welcome them to the future. (30)

Its game tip that you get while loading like in BF2.. You can change that if you want to.. but i whould leave it like that..

I recommend using a spreadsheet like MS Excel, OpenOffice / StarOffice Calc or something alike. That way, you have a separate column for each language which gives a better overview.

Here see if it works

(The link seems to just jump back to this site for me so you may have to copy paste the link)

I changed the weapon texts to orange and added weapon names to teamkills so it says

guy1 [ Weapon ] guy2
guy1 [ Teamkill - Weapon ] guy2

And player names and times from votes to orange + some other stuff that I don't remember anymore

Anyone else get really confused when they opened it?

It looks very different from the BF2 files.
