Editing force names

Post by risker »

I'm stuck on one last thing with translating the map. In the war3map.w3i there is the teams for the map, exactly how does one edit these? I've tried a hex editor (can't find them. -___-) and then tried editing the file by just notepad, deprotecting the map is out of the question so what do you suggest?

I need
Organização da Akatsuki
changed into
Akatsuki
EDIT:

Also I can't seem to find all the general language changes, like where normally it says "level" it says "nivel", attack, patrol, when you try drop an item and error messages etc. Idk where to find these?

EDIT2:
war3mapSkin.txt is to answer my problem with general language changes, but I'm still having trouble with changing the force name. If I edit the file, it just corrupts.

Some words are in the jass file and some would be in the WTS (string) file.

I know where they are, they're in war3map.w3i. It's just I can't edit them without corrupting it.

It's corrupted from protection, attempted to remake it and failed as-well.

Yes and yes. You know how when you deprotect a map, you have to replace this file as part of that process because it's unfixable?

No wtg, it's always removed when the map is protected?

I need to edit the w3i file... here, I'll show you what a text editor shows at least.

See the ugly bit at the end, "Organização da Akatsuki". That needs to be changed but I can't simply use a text editor to do it and I don't have the knowledge to use a hex editor without corrupting it.

EDIT:

Fixed it, I was trying to use the hex editor on the actual map file but it works when you extract the file then hex edit it and place it back in.
