ALL THE HYPHENS IN THIS TUT ARE NOT APPLYING TO THE TUT.
Ok, this tut is about reanaming a weapon, vehicle, or powerup. You can even hex sentences or die-ng things like "Mooose was pwned by bloodhawk34". This thing covers the basics so you know how to do this suff. Personally its the easiest thing I've learned in hex, so it shouldn't be too confuzing. By the way this works also with trial version.
IMPORTANT: YOU CANNOT RENAME WEPS OR VEHICS WITH A NAME THAT HAS MORE LETTERS THAN THE ORIGINAL NAME. YOU WILL GET EXCEPTION.
First, open up (bloodgulch.map) in HexWorkshop. You should see numbers and letters in 3 columns. Ignore the first thin one. you dont edit it. The second one you can edit, but its harder. By hexing names, or "strings", you will be using the third column to edit.
goto edit, then find.
In the dropdown that says "hex values" goto "text string".
Where it says options at the bottom of the find window, change ASCII string to Unicode string. The area you type in is in the middle (if you look a little to the left it syas "value"). Type in the weapon or vehicle, etc. thing you want to edit. I will be using a grenade in this tutorial. So type in "fragmentation grenade" without the "s and press OK.
There will be 2 findings. Edit them both. Let me tell you how 1st. Goto the 1st find where it says
P.i.c.k.e.d. .u.p. .a. .f.r.a.g.m.e.n.t.a.t.i.o.n. .g.r.e.n.a.d.e.
When editing a text string, dont mess around with the periods or else you will get some odd results ingame like "picked up a fragmtion grnde". Im gonna rename this thing the "bomber s-h-i-t-t-e-r" no hyphens. so for best results on this, goto the end of .f.r.a.g.m.e.n.t.a.t.i.o.n. and type backwards bomber.
It will look like this .f.r.a.g.m.e.n.b.o.m.b.e.r. Now just put spaces before bomber. Like this . . . . . . . .b.o.m.b.e.r.
Now time for some shi-tterfying. in .g.r.e.n.a.d.e. type in s-h-i-t-t-e-r (no hyphens) backward like b4. luckily this time it fills the whole word. It now says .s-.h-.i-.t-.t-.e-.r. (no hyphens)
P.i.c.k.e.d. .u.p. .a. . . . . . . . .b.o.m.b.e.r. .s-.h-.i-.t-.t-.e-.r. (no hyphens) is what it says now. kinda look weird you can keep it that way if you want or you can edit the picking up part. Ima go do that. Goto this area P.i.c.k.e.d. .u.p. .a. . . . . . . . .b.o.m.b.e.r.
Edit it to this P.i.c.k.e.d. .u.p. .a. .f-.u-.c-.k-.i-.n. .b.o.m.b.e.r. (no hyphens)
There now you are done with editing the frag. edit the 2nd entry just in a plural version of this and dont edit the .%.d. and it will be completely ready-to-go in your many supermods.
I wont take an ingame pic but now you can go pick up some frags ontop of the base and it will say "Picked up 4 f-u-c-k-i-n bomber s-h-i-t-t-e-r-s" without the hyphens. lol. good luck on all your future hexediting.
