ok i believe you need to search for the weapon name BUT when renameing it it has to be the same number of characters as the current name

your a bad searcher http://www.halomods.com/forums/viewtopi ... ex+weapons

Use Hex Workshop. I'm not sure but you may be able to replace the period at the end of the sentence to gain an extra letter.

Any hex program will do. Open it up, Search for text string "magnum" for example. Keep searching til it finds one like

Hold X To Pick up Magnum.

Then change it to

Hold X To pick up Pistol. Because its the same characters
or
Hold X to pick up Gun___. Because it still equals 6 characters

(I substituted _ for a space)
