Savage117 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Im probably being blind but I cant seem to find the .ini containing the Nicknames, id like to edit these and add some of my own. Also im seeing around here that I cant just edit them in the .ini, I need some sort of patcher to make them stick, a little more detail on this would be nice, or perhaps a mod manager of some sort that does it for me would be nice too.

dreadylein Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 i think i have seen them in the xcomgame.upk so no luck for you atm The ini which is modded here was moved from the directory into the binary on the retail versionso you have to patch a new ini into the binary if you want to mod something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage117 Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) So, just to be clear, editing the soldier nicknames is out of the question at this time? And I need to patch the game every time I edit the .ini's? Why does it allow me to comment out the starting logos without a hitch then? Edit: Nevermind, been strolling these forums and noticed that no one has an answer yet on why the game only has some of the .ini's packed away and some are fine to edit. I also found out that I might be able to edit the nicknames using a resource editor or this gildor thing, I just have no idea where to look, are they in a well marked folder with troop names and nicknames or is it going to be in some folder or file in folders 1-10? Just an example, havnt had time to actualy try these programs yet. I also would rather someone who already knows where they are to give me an idea instead of repeating someone elses efforts. If no one has found it yet ill post my findings when I get there if anyone is interested. Edited October 16, 2012 by Savage117 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreadylein Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 you wont be able to edit them, the engine expect compressed upk files, the moment you are able to edit the packages, the engine wont load them atm, think you could do it trough memory hacking, They put things into the binarie which have an impackt on the balance, cheat opportunities or a steam related as a branding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekdelorean Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Someone found the nicknames here:\XCOM Enemy Unknown\XComGame\Localization\INTin Xcomgame.int All the way at the bottom, open able with notepad. I just changed a bunch of mine, But I just started a new game so I can't tell if it works yet.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome Tekdelorean, I hope it works, easy way to test it would be to remove all but some custom nicknames that way you know if its working or not.
