Saraphima 34 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I need some help changing the title of the main menu buttons to what they used to be. Any help would be great. Link to comment
marcuswob 43 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) What exactly do you have in mind? At first, I renamed some buttons to make clear that a patched version won't work in opennet or LAN with a non-patched version. Later I removed buttons which are useless now...

Saraphima 34 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Currently I just wanted to get rid of the CM that's in the title of the buttons. Example cm singleplayer. Link to comment
marcuswob 43 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) I thought of that myself as today there is no mulitiplayer, closednet or opennet anymore. To do so you'll have to change and recompile the global.res file. And as the CMP Version is shown on several places now I'll remove that for the release version of V0150.

Saraphima 34 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 I tried to change them a LONG time ago but didn't know how to but I'm glad you know how to. I'm not sure if you can could make the buttons do other thing but maybe they could go to a manual, or artwork like concept, renders and what not. Also maybe one button go to a screen with a list of sacred based links like the wiki. Link to comment
marcuswob 43 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 The caption of the buttons is one thing, the function another one. I can change what's written, but not the function. CU Marcus Link to comment
Saraphima 34 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Hand a feeling but worth a shot. Would getting rid of the buttons be an option? Link to comment

Saraphima 34 Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 What program do you use to change and recompile the file? Link to comment
Popular Post Flix 5,116 Posted September 20, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2014 What program do you use to change and recompile the file? Dudes, this has been answered like 100 times in the last few months. There is only one program that edits global.res, and it was developed internally by and for the CM Patch Team. 2 Link to comment
Saraphima 34 Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 If this is the last patch that they plan on doing it would be great for them to release it. We could have so many more mods out there if we had it. No need to hold it over everybody's heads or anything. Link to comment
Popular Post marcuswob 43 Posted September 20, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) Point with modifying global.res is: - you can easily damage the file to be useless - mods will get incompatible as there can be only one global.res in the game, and that one cannot be overloaded - mulitiplayer (LAN or tunngle) will get problems with different global.res To integrate the last changes from the ItemMod took me one week - and I know the tool since the beginning. As soon as we "officially" release s2rw.exe, this will be the end of the cm-patch once and for all. Won't be able to keep the different language versions together any longer, so any further cm-patch would be senseless. Think of this: As I've reviewed and edited the quest "Hunting Fever" I needed to create some reports and shift some IDs inside global.res. I did this for all ten languages. If I would have done this for german only, the quest would misbehave in all other languages. To integrate the ItemMod was also the task of tanslating all new item names into all other languages except english. Until this the ItemMod is difficult to use for french, spanish, italian, ... users. CU Marcus Edited September 20, 2014 by marcuswob 2 Link to comment
Saraphima 34 Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 But if I did my own mods there wouldn't be any problems with this, correct? Link to comment
marcuswob 43 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 If you only want to play SP and won't give your MOD away, then no. It's your business what you do to your copy. But MODs are meant to be shared. So there will be more and more mods with their own global.res like the item mod. CU Marcus Link to comment
Saraphima 34 Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 I only play SP any how. Link to comment
marcuswob 43 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 For the records: With V0150 the button text iss back to original. CU Marcus 1 Link to comment
