text change

Post by Gamja »

is there some way that you can change the text in MP?

ex: instead of this:

X killed Y.

could you say something like this?

X slew Y.

yeah, go into the test string section, and search for both unicode and that other type of test, and you should be able to find it.. i know for xbox its in the xbe, so it might be in a dll or the exe for the pc.. just a thought tho
If your significance is that but significant then is there another with significance?

Just edit the unicode side instead off all the numbers in the middle... In case ur dumb, uniconde are the letters and dots on the right... This if for Hex Workshop. I dunno if any othere hex editors support uniconde as well.

Cant you actually add more letters to it if you use hmt and insert raw meta as long as you know how to make unicode into hex?
