Some basic mod questions
I want to do the mod thing. I have visual studio 2005 installed on my computer and I downloaded SDL and installed it successfully. Eventually I want to get a halfway decent graphics program that I can use that for creating more TGA files, but for now it’s not a priority.
I have a few ideas for mods, eventually I want to add another magic path, but I realize this will be extremely difficult. For now though, I just want to experiment with an extremely simple mod to get my feet wet so to speak. What I want to do is just add a bunch of new names to the names table. I’m kind of getting sick of having 5 or 6 leaders named Catavillonius or something like that. I just want to add 400 or 500 basic names like Andy, Jim, Twerp, etc. I read through part of modding manual and skimmed the rest, so I have a basic rudimentaty idea of modding. I opened some of the TRS files, I can’t seem to locate the files where the names are embedded/listed. I did a control print screen and pasted it, most of the files are either the graphics files and the TRS files which I tried to open with visual studio. I can’t seem to find the names file, just a bunch of army”x” files which I take are national units etc. that are setup in a byte/hex location manner/value (I don’t know).
Anyway, If someone could point me in the right direction as far as adding new names I’d appreciate it. The tables and info on page 17 of the modding manual just doesn’t cover this topic enough.
ps: I tried to post a .bmp paint pic of the print-screen, but it keeps exceeding the allocated size of 78 somthing kbs, that's too small an amount.
