How do I change text? For example, how do I make it say picked up a Pink Boomstick of Death (TM) instead of picked up a shotgun.
BTW, the Pink Boomstick of Death is the needler shotgun.

change the unicode young one...
go to your hex editor, find the unicode for shotty, replace with pink boomstick of death.
I don't think you can name it the PBoD tho...too long.

Use a hex editor. do a find with type: Text String and make sure the Unicode String dot is marked. Then just typ in shotgun where it ask for a value. All the text should pop up then. Mod away...

remember you cant make a name longer, only = or shorter
so that means no pink stick of death.

1. Open A Map
2. Press Find And Click Text String Instead Of Hex Values.
3. Now On Bottom Of That Window Select Uniconde String.
4. Next Type In The Name Of The Item You Want To Change ( Example: Type In SHOTGUN.
5. Now Change The Name As You Please. Remember It Can Only Be Shorter Or The Same Amount Of Characters Unless You Use My Trick.

would it be possible to extract the meta of the weapon, rename the weapon, then rebuild the map so that the meta is right?
