Operation Name Data - Hardcoded?

Recommended Posts

Hey there Merry Modders,

 

I really apologize if this is either obviously impossible or blindly obvious but I've been digging around in the .Int and config files for a while now and I can find the nicknames but not the operation name elements. If it's hard coded and/or just impossible to change then I'd really appreciate if someone could lay down that as a fact.

 

I must admit that I really want to add in some comedy into the operation names - just a few extra nouns and verbs could mean that an endless supply of hilarious operation names will make the deaths of my team members all the more poignant. If it is possible to do I promise to share the results here!

 

From a long term mod user - semi-occasional mod maker (of other games).

In XComGame\Localization\INT\XComStrategyGame.int, line 600 is "[XGMission] and right after that is a list of the op names, with the first names listed, then the second names. Not sure if adding names works, but there are by default 52 first names and 75 second names for the operations. The name of the final mission, "Operation Avenger" seems to be decided by one line, and there's a bit of code below it for how to determine the rest of the names. Not sure if it can be modified to use more than two names, or even just one name. Might check into that. :)

Thank you so much for replying - and as I promised here is the file - I've changed a lot of the words used.... not tested if it works just yet though. It's very immature humor but hopefully this gives someone a laugh! :)

I've tried the file - but unfortunately the change doesn't seem to stick. This is where my limited knowledge of modding XCOM has hit a brick wall but hopefully eventually there will be a nice easy way to edit these files and have the modding stick (I have steam in offline mode but it doesn't seem to have worked).
