Tilarium Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Anyone know how to change the names of the various ranks? I've been digging through the various .ini files and while I've been able to make a few changes I just can't find where the rank names are held. I always hated the ranks that the game uses in the last one and now they make even less sense. I want to change them as such: RookieSquddie InitiateCorporal SquaddieSergeant OperativeLieutenant Field OperativeCaptain Junior AgentMajor AgentColonel Field Agent Or something similar to that. Also, anyone know what I need to change to increase the amount of experience (missions or kills, what controls it) needed to gain a promotion. While I don't mind my rookies getting promoted after 1 kill, the experience needed for other promotions is so little everyone is getting promoted quick.

johnnylump Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Text strings are in localization files. For English, that's files that end in .INT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilarium Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 How would you go about opening the .int files? I tried earlier opening with textpad but even though it opened it converted content it couldn't read into something it could which then caused issues in the game of removing text.

Naasir Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 notepad++ works fine. Just tested on various .int files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadoWarrior Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 For English language, the file is XComGame.int and you need to search for the [X2ExperienceConfig] section. The next step is for someone to create new (better) rank icons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilarium Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 Notepad++ worked great, got the changes made and no problems with the rest of the file unlike when I used textpad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadoWarrior Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 It's {your game root}\XCOM 2\XComGame\Localization\INT\XComGame.int If your language is not English, then whatever language is in place of "\INT". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
