Hey umm... to use a mod for your server just put the mod into main and it will work fine.... :D I also tried doing that localization thing yet it didn't work. :x I'm pretty sure I did everything right too. Can't help you with that problem :(

Sorry about all the cheesey smiley face things :oops:

Here's how you do it:
Open up pak6.pk3 and extract localization.txt to your Main folder. Now in your main foler, there should be a folder called "global", in ther is localization.txt. Now open localization and scroll throught it to find the multiplayer death messages (or whatever else you want to edit) and modify the second entry, so it should look like this:
{ "was perforated by" "was pummped full of lead by" }
And just do that to the rest of the entries that you want to change.

my global folder is gone and the pak6 and pak3 files....dont know how to extract from them

Use winzip or pakscape. Winzip is easier, packscape is more powerful

The localization.txt file you want isn't in pk6.. i did mine in PK0. under global.. change that one. WOrks for me.

yeah but my global folder is missing where do i get another one?

redsoccerdevil · 08-10-2002, 01:52 PM

Right click in your MOH foler and go to new-> folder, then remane it to global. Also, there is a localization.txt in Pak6 and pak0. In pak0 the list is repeated, so use pak6. It is there.

ok is there a specific program i need to use to open up the pack files?

Death103 · **yes -** 08-10-2002, 03:16 PM

somewhere

use winzip if you want.. same thing

lemme guess editing takes lots of hard of hard work right? If i need to find it can u tell me where to get it at? like post the link up?

Kabez · 08-10-2002, 07:21 PM

actually how do u extract data from that file? I checked all my options and i cant find any options regarding the extraction methods u speak of

redsoccerdevil · 08-10-2002, 08:12 PM

double click on pak6.pk3, select use winzip to open this file. Scroll down and find oacalization.txt, then go to the top of the wind and click extract. Make the directory C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\MOHAA\main, and click extract. then go into your main folder and inot your global folder and edit the localization.txt
