Hi Guys,

Does anyone know how to put spaces in flag names without having to put in an underscore?? (_)

Thanks.

use a localisation id for the flag name, then add the expansion to the localisation files

you basicly need to have your map, part of a mod to do that. And then you will need to edit the English.utxt and other languge files to change the name of the flags with spcaes.

you can also use the good ol´ ALT+255 ASCI-Space block... works like a charm

I thought I posted a possible solution to this. It may be possible to create a localization folder and file in you map to call on for this. You can do this the same way EF added the EU objects.

hi,

i named my control pionts like:

CP_16_LIV_CABASE

CP_32_LIV_CABASE

CP_64_LIV_CABASE

then i add this lines in english.utxt

CP_16_LIV_CABASE VietCong Base

CP_32_LIV_CABASE VietCong Base

CP_64_LIV_CABASE VietCong Base

and this in german.utxt:

CP_16_LIV_CABASE VietCong Basis

CP_32_LIV_CABASE VietCong Basis

CP_64_LIV_CABASE VietCong Basis

but this dont show up ingame. it always show up the name wich i have done in editor.

i have done a map descryption in the utxt files and this works.

but no cp names.

any idea?

I have no map editor but I wanted to know the same thing, perhaps you have like a tutorial?

There is an easier way than creating a mod and editing the localisation files, but it does require getting down and dirty with notepad.

Edit the ControlPoint template in your gameplayobjects.con and change the ObjectTemplate.setControlPointName line. eg:

rem [ControlPointTemplate: 64_CH_CP_NorthVillage]

ObjectTemplate.create ControlPoint 64_CH_CP_NorthVillage

ObjectTemplate.activeSafe ControlPoint 64_CH_CP_NorthVillage

ObjectTemplate.modifiedByUser "Administrator"

ObjectTemplate.setNetworkableInfo ControlPointInfo

ObjectTemplate.isNotSaveable 1

ObjectTemplate.hasMobilePhysics 0

ObjectTemplate.hasCollisionPhysics 1

ObjectTemplate.physicsType Mesh

rem -------------------------------------

ObjectTemplate.addTemplate flagpole

rem -------------------------------------

ObjectTemplate.setControlPointName "North Village"

ObjectTemplate.radius 15

ObjectTemplate.controlPointId 103

ObjectTemplate.areaValueTeam1 30

ObjectTemplate.areaValueTeam2 30

ObjectTemplate.timeToGetControl 20

ObjectTemplate.timeToLoseControl 20

ObjectTemplate.hoistMinMax 0.2/0.9

You miss the escape chars in your post, are they there? Also, when you saved the file again, are you sure its still in little endian (or big, cant remember), else bf fails to read the unicode and it errors.

its not unicode, it is plain text, so endians are irrelevant and you can use spaces within "". I am of course talking about editting the gameplayobjects.con not the localisation file.

yeah, this is a way.

but in this case i cant do different names for english and german.

this is why i want it in the localisation file.
