Hi there,
I apologise if this question is answered elsewhere - I've searched, read tutorials, and poked about inside other mods' files to no avail; so I'm going to feel exceedingly silly if there's a big red banner somewhere telling me how to do this. Please do tell me if there is nevertheless.
I've been getting sick of seeing the same faction names pop up in every game (especially now that I associate at least four of the Advent names with getting my ass handed to me), so I've been trying to add to the list of possible faction names via English.str, however I'm having difficulties. Although the game is reading the edited English.str (I altered some of the original faction names to check this, and the alterations display ingame), the names I've added aren't coming up ingame, despite my testing on all-Advent 10-player maps with 13 new names alongside the original 10.
I went for what seemed to be the logical approach to adding names in the str - copying the lines and updating the numbers, for example:
StringInfo
ID "IDSPlayerAINamePsi18"
Value "Eyes of Intuition"
And updated the NumStrings value appropriately. Still no luck, though, so I'm stumped. Is there something I'm missing here, or is adding names beyond the default 10 not possible?
