Changing Class Names

Submitted by Werewood on Sun, 2013-09-08 19:03

*Though this should go into a new thread.*

So I'm trying to alter the class names. I got Tank viewer, extracted classlookup.gas.

Changed as Follows

Friar - > Footman
Curate - > Lancer
Druid - > Gendarme
Preserver - > Dragoon
Grand Preserver - > Master Dragoon
Supreme Preserver - > Dragoon Lord

Got Tank Creator.
selected the whole folder I extracted (world/global/class_lookup.gas)
Made a .dsres and place it in DSLOA.

Started a new game, and when I hit 1 in Nature and Melee, it was STILL friar.
I tried Priority 1 and Priority 6 (not sure what counts as a higher priority)

What am I doing wrong?

Well it would depend totally on what mods you are using as to what a high priority is. There is some debate but the highest priority you can assign to something is either 32767 or 35767 depending on who you talk to. However it may not be a priority issue but there may be other files that require changing since lookup tables often refer/reference/or whatever other files. I will have to look into this.

Sounds good, I went ahead and checked all the other mods I have (that weren't protected), and none of them altered that file....so there may be an additional one I need to modify.

Edit: Definitely not a priority issue.

I'm thinking that the missing file is somewhere in Logic.dsres in "ui/interfaces/backend"

I examined a mod that added new classes and in characters.gas there was a line of code like:

text= "Combat Magic", which was altered to "Necromancy".

so I wonder if there is something similar in another gas.

Edit: Dang it, must've looked through 50 gas files with no luck. It seems like "Class_lookup.gas" is the needed file, but I have no idea why it doesn't work.

Edit 2: FOUND THE ISSUE..... the Tank Builder messed up somehow.
I have my folder on Desktop, so it's "desktop/world/global/class_lookup.gas".
When I select the folder "world" to build it, it goes 1 step in.
So when I open the tank file...instead of "world/global/class_lookup.gas", it is just "global/class_lookup.gas".

And it works now.

Yes a missing folder or an incorrect folder name can cause all kinds of problems. I would suggest instead of untanking a file to the desktop, create a folder specificly for editing the game. Then when you extract a gas file it will be in a less cluttered place. Also make sure you tell whatever extractor/viewer you use to keep the folder names. Keep in mind you must also have the top end folder in this case world.
Suggest getting a copy of TankCreator2 as it is much easier to use and can create both DS1 files like .dsres and DS2 files like .ds2res.
