getting new units right on build list?

[primemover]

Hi folks. Need help again. Anyone know how to define the text for a new unit?

I am making a new ship type based on one that already exists. but in my buildlist it calls my new ship a

"UNIT_WARSHIP" (nice generic name for now...)

how I define the "title" of the UNIT_WARSHIP in units.txt so that it just says "Warship" in my build list?

Thanks ahead of time for any help.

Just open the gl_str.txt in your ..\ctp2_data\english\gamedata\ folder and add the line:

UNIT_WARSHIP "Warship"

to this file.

BTW if you are working on a scenario you can also use the scen_str.txt.

Thanks for the tip

Thanks alot! For some reason when I used XP's search it did not find the string UNIT_ and some other modded unit, it did not find the strings in this file. I beginning to think XP's file search really sucks. Even window Me's works better.

Thanks again.
