Quick HMT question

Hey sorry if this has been asked (or if this is posted in the wrong section) but what offset do I change to change the name of a weapon?

Yeah, you should've posted this in modding discussion.

But for the question, you can't change the name with an offset the way you're thinking.

What you want is to either Hex edit and do a "search/replace" for all instances of your weapon name as a Unicode Text String.

OR

Download eschaton .6.1, and under the USTR branch, change the name of the assault rifle. This is doing the same exact thing as above, except using Eschaton to edit the hex.

You can change the name of a weapon using an offset, it's a value in the weapon tag.

If your talking about changing the name of a Weapon "Ingame", you can always use the simple way, by using a Hex Editor, such as Hex Workshop.

It's a little bit easier to use program designed for editing those kinds of things though. Pic is of 0.7 but the currently released version edits unicode strings in the same way.
