New City Centre names
Posted: 12 Nov 2020, 12:14
Hey all,
So you know how you can edit dbtext_territory_names.utf8 to add new territory names, yes?
I couldn't find some similar file for city centre names.
According to the beginners guide to the EE2 Map Editor, the Territory Properties panel, "City Name:", will determine the name of any city centre built in that territory BUT a city centre that is already positioned on the map at the start of the scenario will have a city name based on the player who owns it, not based on the Territory Properties.
The guide goes on to say (quoting):
"If you really must place a city centre on the map to begin with, there is another way to name cities.Double click on the city centre. An Object Properties panel should come up, with details about the city centre's characteristics. One of these characteristics will be "Display Name". There will be a string of text that reads like this: "tx_ms_cityname_London". The text is the computer's label for the city of London. You can alter it to change the name that EEII applies to that city centre, so long as EEII recognises the line "tx_ms_cityname_YourCityName" as a valid label."
If I put "SillySimon" in place of "YourCityName", that is not a valid label! How can I add new valid city names?
Any help is much appreciated
