How to change messages on the server?????
 

In a server how do you change the text message when you enter like "Click button to choose sides" I want to know how I can change that in my server as well as change some of the other text in the game.

search these forums for 'localization.txt' and I'm sure you'll find it.

its in there all right

why dont u go into a game like that and just askk the person thats running it. i am pretty sure that they would tell you.

most people dont,.. they jjust laugh at you

i downloaded pakscape from AA, and was able to open it, so far so good, now let me see if i can do it right on the server[/img]

you shoul dbe able to fairly easilly

ok i go into pakscape and change the localization files, i save it, open it back up and it didn't save. So what am I supposed to do to get it saved and I noticed their are 2 localization files, one is in pak0 and pak6, so which one do I change

Email me at jlandi@cox.net and I will send you the txt file. This one is extracted.

what you do is:

Open file with notepad. search for "Press fire". now you should see a another "press fire" right after the first one. delete everything within the parenthesis. Add your custom text. you can also add line brakes by using the /r

save our file

Now create a new directory within your main directory called global.
Place your newly edited file in there and reboot your server. you should see your new welcome screen

the loc.txt file you pull from your pk3 file has it's attributes set to read only. if you know how to change them you can proceed without my loc.txt file

Good luck

problem is that we rent a server from a company, so i do my server stuff through ftp. now if i just start up a new global folder and put it on the server, will it read it, or do i have to put it back in the pak file

I assume you have access to rcon.

What you want to do is create a directory in your main folder called "global"

if you do not have permission to do so, ask the provider to

Then upload the edited txt file. Have them restart it or if they monitor your moh.exe, use the

[code:f3920]rcon quit [/code:f3920]

Command to kill the exe. If they have a program to restart your exe when it notices it's not running then your all set. Wait a couple of seconds and you should be back in business

If not, you will have to email them to restart the moh.exe

Good luck
