Renaming Unknown sectors

Post by Cheiron »

Jo,

Is there a possibility to change the names of the Unknown Sectors?
I'm very busy in the Unknown sector nearby Wasteland. Would be nice to have such a possibility.

No, there isn't. Unless the modders know different. Moving to the Scripts and Modding forum.

You need to download the X2-editor at this page: http://www.doubleshadow.wz.cz/x2e/index.php?p=about and the patch at this page: http://www.doubleshadow.wz.cz/x2e/index.php?p=download

When installed, click to TXT resource editor, look for Sectornames, modify them and if you want to modify the description: check the number and look for the sector description regarding it.

[Read the X2-editor instructions before use it]

Bye

Once you have X2Editor, load up the Text Resource Editor. Inside your 04.cat file, you will find a T directory. Inside the T directory, you want the 440001.pck file.

Once that file is open, look for ID 7, Boardcomp. Sectornames. The sector ID you are looking for is 1020818. Change the sectorname here to whatever you like. Save, exit, and you are good to go.

This only changes the text of course. Please note that changing it in this fashion will affect all of your future games unless you wipe your game and reinstall.
