Dear forum members! I recently started working on a small mod and I needed to change the names of some characters. After searching through the files, I found a file called HOTRAITS.txt. It seems like this is the file I need to edit, but I'm not sure what the exact steps are and where to put it after editing. Would you be so kind as to help me?

most likely in the Data folder.

To find the right file, I browsed through the date using MMArchive. After finding the file, I copied it because you can't make changes directly through the program. After manually making the changes, I tried to put the file back into the date, expecting to see the usual prompt asking if I wanted to replace the old file with the new one, but nothing happened. The file just remained in the date, and nothing changed.

The file simply remained in the folder, and nothing changed.

That's how it should be. All key .txt files are embedded within the game, and the game retrieves them from there. However, if the required file is located in the Data folder, the game will prioritize using it from there. This principle is used in the online game with modified .rmg, .array, and .cranim files, etc.

P.S. For the modified file to work correctly, you need to restart the game.

Thank you, I'll let you know when I try it. I'm not at home right now, unfortunately.

I tried changing it, putting it in the date, and restarting – nothing happened.

Hooray!!! There were several launchers in the Heroes folder – I launched the default one, and all the changes took effect! Thread closed:smile03:
