Staredit Network -> Modding Assistance -> Tbl Confusion
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Fallen_Knight on 2006-11-19 at 17:31:29
Okay I'm a newb at modding, and I'm trying to use TblPad but I'm having a lot of trouble and confusion.
I searched and read some of the FAQs but they didn't help much.

Here's the problem, or should I say confusion.
I've read the FAQ and opened the 'patch_rt.mpq' and extracted the tbl files but when I opened them in the editor they appeared to be in a differant language. I edited some of the strings and ran the .exe the strings I edited were working but it seems that the entire game has changed to a foreign language.

So I opened StarDat.mpq only to figure out that what the FAQ said was true, StarCraft didn't crash but the Brood War units came up with some bizzare names like
Alexi was named Peter
Duran was named Bozzik (or something)
and Infested Duran was like neutral00001

I opened some of the other MPQs but the problem persisted. Can someone please help me out? helpsmilie.gif

IN Patch_Rt.MPQ, the first Rez/Stat_txt.tbl is in English. Followed by Spanish, and several other languages(once including German). If it is changing the name it could be that your computer has corrupted on of the files.

If you're editing names and such, don't extract patch_rt.mpq's stat_txt.tbl. Get it from BrooDat.mpq. Also, make sure to get the one with location value 0, which indicates that it's in English.

Thanks to both of you. I appreciate it much.
I wish I could give you guys something in return, but unfortunatly I don't have much. Either way thanks a lot.
